Google's Agent Compute Engine gives every Gemini agent its own hardware-isolated micro virtual machine

Google announced Agent Compute Engine, which gives each AI agent its own isolated microVM secured by its Titanium chip; it already powers Gemini and will open for preview in the coming months. Idle agents' VMs pause automatically to free machines for others, and shared memory between VMs reduces per-agent running costs; Google says it can fit ten times as many agents on a single server, and a 200,000-agent test showed suspend and resume in under 500 milliseconds. Google is also adding token tracking, model routing, and support for third-party identity providers like Ping Identity and SailPoint, extending to Cloud Run, GKE, and managed endpoints.
