Google Cloud Next 2026: all the live details of Google Cloud’s biggest annual event


Refresh

While that’s it for the live keynotes, we’re still on the ground hopping between shoots and talking to Google executives to get the latest details on this year’s long list of announcements.

Next, we headed to a meeting to hear the news from Google DeepMind’s Gemini.

Additionally, Rapid Enterprise Migration, in preview, is now up to 5x faster to move an entire organization from M365 thanks to extensive work on interoperability.

Yulie Kwon is on stage now to announce the general availability of Workspace Intelligence: a deeper context for information gathering with situational awareness and personalization. It turns fragmented information into a clear path forward, he adds.

In a quick on-stage demo, we see Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience handle complex workflows with product queries and even language changes. For the consumer, it means that conversational AI can be used via phone support, and the AI ​​agent has access to all the necessary resources behind the scenes.

Just a few weeks after we learned that Google Cloud completed its acquisition of Wiz, we now have an idea of ​​what this acquisition means for Google Cloud.

Continuing with the data, Google is launching Cross-Cloud Lakehouse that is “completely borderless”

Karthik Narain, Chief Product and Business Officer, is here for upcoming releases starting with Knowledge Catalog, Smart Storage for agent-ready data with instant tagging and no manual data engineering, and Deep Research Agent.

Of course, we’ll have more complete details on Google’s two new TPUs later.

As for TPU 8i, there is now support for up to 1,152 TPUs per module via Boardfly Topology. We have torn down the “wall of memory”, says Google

TPU 8t promises 3x performance per pod, support for up to 9600 TPUs via 3D toroidal topology, 2PB of shared bandwidth memory (enough to hold 100x the entire Library of Congress digital collection)

TPU 8t and TPU 8i announced next

For another live demo, three-time Olympic gold medalist and snowboarder Shaun White shows us how Google Cloud and Gemini can analyze the details of a video for detailed analysis.

“The era of the pilot is over, the era of the agent is here,” Kurian declares as he hosts his colleague Erica Chuong for a demonstration.

Projects on Gemini Enterprise, coming soon, serves as a shared workspace for teams and agents.

The names continue as Thomas Kurian reminds us that Google Cloud partnered with NASA/Artemis II for agent AI flight preparation.

And mention the name… Google Cloud reminds us of the historic partnership with Apple, which will power this year’s much-improved Siri.

We’re also hearing about Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (Nano Banana 2), Veo 3.1 Lite, and Lyria 3 Pro.

The focus of today’s keynote and this year’s announcements will be Google Cloud’s new Gemini enterprise agent platform, described as an “end-to-end system for the age of agents.”

About 75% of all new code at Google is generated with AI, Google CEO Sundar Pichai says in a pre-recorded video. About a year ago, we reported that AI made up about 25% of Google’s new code (and a third for Microsoft).

“How can you bring AI to production across your entire enterprise?” Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian asks as he welcomes the audience.

Spoiler alert, you’ve already given us the answer: it’s a unified stack. That’s what we’ll hear over the next two days.
