Supercharging LLM inference on Google TPUs: Achieving 3X speedups with diffusion-style speculative decoding

Researchers at UCSD have successfully implemented DFlash, a block-diffusion speculative decoding method, on Google TPUs to bypass the sequential bottlenecks of traditional autoregressive drafting. By "painting" entire blocks of candidate tokens in a single forward pass rather than predicting them one-by-one, the system achieved average speedups of 3.13x, with peak performance nearly doubling that of existing methods like EAGLE-3. This open-source integration into the vLLM ecosystem optimizes TPU hardware by leveraging "free" parallel verification and high-quality draft predictions for complex reasoning tasks.

Get ready for Google I/O: Livestream schedule revealed

Google I/O returns May 19–20 to showcase major updates in AI, Android, Chrome, and Cloud, beginning with a keynote on the "agentic era" of development. The event will focus on new tools designed to automate complex workflows and simplify the creation of high-quality, AI-ready applications. Attendees can register to access live sessions, technical demos, and professional development resources both live and on-demand.

Announcing ADK for Java 1.0.0: Building the Future of AI Agents in Java

Google has released version 1.0.0 of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Java, introducing powerful new features like Google Maps grounding, built-in URL fetching, and a standardized Agent2Agent protocol for cross-framework collaboration. The update enhances agent control through a new "App" and "Plugin" architecture, which allows for global logging, automated context window management via event compaction, and "Human-in-the-Loop" workflows for action confirmations. Additionally, the release provides robust session and memory services using Google Cloud integrations like Firestore and Vertex AI to manage long-term state and large data artifacts.

Boost Training Goodput: How Continuous Checkpointing Optimizes Reliability in Orbax and MaxText

The newly introduced continuous checkpointing feature in Orbax and MaxText is designed to optimize the balance between reliability and performance during model training, addressing issues with conventional fixed-frequency checkpointing. Unlike fixed intervals—which can either compromise reliability or bottleneck performance—continuous checkpointing maximizes I/O bandwidth and minimizes failure risk by asynchronously initiating a new save operation only after the previous one successfully completes. Benchmarks demonstrate that this approach significantly reduces checkpoint intervals and results in substantial resource conservation, especially in large-scale training jobs where mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) is short.

ADK Go 1.0 Arrives!

The launch of Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Go 1.0 marks a significant shift from experimental AI scripts to production-ready services by prioritizing observability, security, and extensibility. Key updates include native OpenTelemetry integration for deep tracing, a new plugin system for self-healing logic, and "Human-in-the-Loop" confirmations to ensure safety during sensitive operations. Additionally, the release introduces YAML-based configurations for rapid iteration and refined Agent2Agent (A2A) protocols to support seamless communication across different programming languages. This framework empowers developers to build complex, reliable multi-agent systems using the high-performance engineering standards of Golang.

Developer’s Guide to Building ADK Agents with Skills

The Agent Development Kit (ADK) SkillToolset introduces a "progressive disclosure" architecture that allows AI agents to load domain expertise on demand, reducing token usage by up to 90% compared to traditional monolithic prompts. Through four distinct patterns—ranging from simple inline checklists to "skill factories" where agents write their own code—the system enables agents to dynamically expand their capabilities at runtime using the universal agentskills.io specification. This modular approach ensures that complex instructions and external resources are only accessed when relevant, creating a scalable and self-extending framework for modern AI development.

Bring state-of-the-art agentic skills to the edge with Gemma 4

Google DeepMind has launched Gemma 4, a family of state-of-the-art open models designed to enable multi-step planning and autonomous agentic workflows directly on-device. The release includes the Google AI Edge Gallery for experimenting with "Agent Skills" and the LiteRT-LM library, which offers a significant speed boost and structured output for developers. Available under an Apache 2.0 license, Gemma 4 supports over 140 languages and is compatible with a wide range of hardware, including mobile devices, desktops, and IoT platforms like Raspberry Pi.

Supporting Google Account username change in your app

Google has updated its account settings to allow U.S. users to change their @gmail.com usernames while keeping all existing account data and inboxes intact. For developers, this means that while old email addresses will remain active as aliases, apps that rely solely on email addresses for identification may face issues with account duplication or lost access. To ensure a seamless user experience, Google recommends migrating to the "subject ID" as the primary user identifier and allowing users to manually update their contact information within app settings.

TorchTPU: Running PyTorch Natively on TPUs at Google Scale

TorchTPU is a new engineering stack designed to provide a native, high-performance experience for running PyTorch workloads on Google’s TPU infrastructure with minimal code changes. It features an "Eager First" approach with multiple execution modes and utilizes the XLA compiler to optimize distributed training across massive clusters. Moving into 2026, the project aims to further reduce compilation overhead and expand support for dynamic shapes and custom kernels to ensure seamless scalability for the next generation of AI.

Build Better AI Agents: 5 Developer Tips from the Agent Bake-Off

The Google Cloud AI Agent Bake-Off highlights a shift from simple prompt engineering to rigorous agentic engineering, emphasizing that production-ready AI requires a modular, multi-agent architecture. The post outlines five key developer tips, including decomposing complex tasks into specialized sub-agents and using deterministic code for execution to prevent probabilistic errors. Furthermore, it advises developers to prioritize multimodality and open-source protocols like MCP to ensure agents are scalable, integrated, and future-proof against rapidly evolving model capabilities.
