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

Refresh

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

Next, we’re heading to a breakout to hear what’s new with Gemini from Google DeepMind

Additionally, Rapid Enterprise Migration, in Preview, is now up to 5x faster to migrate an entire organization from M365 thanks to major work on interoperability

Yulie Kwon is on stage now to announce the general availability of Workspace Intelligence – deeper context for information gathering with situational awareness and personalization. That makes fragmented information a clear way forward, she adds.

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

Just a few weeks after we learned that Google Cloud completed the acquisition of Wiz, we’re now getting a look at what this acquisition means for Google Cloud.

Google Sticks to the Data Side, Launches Cross-Cloud Lakehouse That’s “Completely Borderless”

Chief Product and Business Officer Karthik Narain is here for the next launches starting with Knowledge Catalogue, Smart Storage for agent-ready data with instant tagging and zero manual data engineering, and Deep Research Agent

Of course, we have the more detailed information about Google’s two new TPUs coming later

As for the TPU 8i, there is now support for up to 1,152 TPUs per pod via Boardfly Topology. We’ve broken down the “memory wall,” says Google

TPU 8t promises 3x performance per pod, support for up to 9,600 TPUs via 3D torus topology, 2 PB of shared bandwidth memory (enough to hold the entire digital collection of the Library of Congress 100x over)

Next, the TPU 8t and TPU 8i will be announced

For another live demo, 3x 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 welcomes colleague Erica Chuong to a demo.

Projects in Gemini Enterprise, coming soon, serve as a shared workspace for teams and agents

Name-dropping continues as Thomas Kurian reminds us that Google Cloud partnered with NASA/Artemis II on agent AI flight readiness

And name drop… Google Cloud reminds us of the landmark Apple partnership that will power this year’s much-improved Siri

We also hear 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 agent era”

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

“How do you move AI into production across your entire enterprise?” Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian asks as he welcomes the audience.

Spoiler alert, he’s already given us the answer – it’s a total stack. That’s what we’ll hear about over the next two days.
