The new **User Simulation** feature in the Agent Development Kit (ADK) replaces rigid, brittle manual test scripts with dynamic, LLM-powered conversation generation. Developers define a high-level `conversation_plan`, and the simulator handles the multi-turn interaction to achieve the goal. This dramatically reduces test creation time, builds more resilient tests, and creates a reliable regression suite for AI agents.

Google has released the Jules API, a new tool for developers to automate and integrate the software development lifecycle. The API is based on "Source," "Session," and "Activity" concepts, and Google has provided a quickstart guide to help developers begin using it.

The GKE Inference Gateway now integrates with Apigee, allowing enterprises to unify AI serving and API governance. This enables GKE users to leverage Apigee's API management, security, and monetization features for their AI workloads, including API keys, quotas, rate limiting, and Model Armor security.

EmbeddingGemma, built from Gemma 3, transforms text into numerical embeddings for tasks like search and retrieval. It learns through Noise-Contrastive Estimation, Global Orthogonal Regularizer, and Geometric Embedding Distillation. Matryoshka Representation Learning allows flexible embedding dimensions. The development recipe includes encoder-decoder training, pre-fine-tuning, fine-tuning, model souping, and quantization-aware training.

Tunix is a new JAX-native, open-source library for LLM post-training. It offers comprehensive tools for aligning models at scale, including SFT, preference tuning (DPO), advanced RL methods (PPO, GRPO, GSPO), and knowledge distillation. Designed for TPUs and seamless JAX integration, Tunix emphasizes developer control and shows a 12% relative improvement in pass@1 accuracy on GSM8K.

Multi-spectral imagery, which captures wavelengths beyond human vision, offers a "superhuman" way to understand the world, and Google's Gemini models make this accessible without specialized training. By mapping invisible bands to RGB channels and providing context in the prompt, developers can leverage Gemini's power for tasks like environmental monitoring and agriculture.

Google Home is enabling new Gemini-powered features for our partners’ devices and launching a new program to help them build the next generation of AI cameras.
