⏳One of the most annoying parts of building agents is dealing with timeouts when a task actually takes a few minutes to run.

We just rolled out two updates to Managed Agents in the Gemini API to simplify this:

1⃣ Background tasks so you can kick off long-running jobs without babysitting the client connection.

2⃣ Remote MCP integration so your agents can speak to external tools.

For developers building AI agents in India 🇮🇳

ARD is a new open specification that makes it easier for agents to securely discover and trust tools, MCP servers, and other agents across the web, helping build a more interoperable agent ecosystem

[Google for Developers @googledevs]

Agents are part of a massive, interconnected ecosystem. But how do they find and trust each other across different platforms?

Today, we’re proud to announce the Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD), an open specification alongside industry partners (including Cisco, Databricks, GitHub, GoDaddy, Hugging Face, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Snowflake). ARD gives any agent a secure, decentralized way to discover and verify capabilities (like tools, skills, MCP servers, and other agents) anywhere on the web.

Speed matters when you're building with AI ⚡

Meet DiffusionGemma, an experimental open model that explores text diffusion, a new approach to text generation that's optimized for speed.

➡️ Up to 4x faster token output on dedicated GPUs
➡️ Only 3.8B active parameters during inference
➡️ Great for code infilling, inline editing, and self-correcting workflows
➡️ Apache 2.0 licensed and open for experimentation

If you're building AI agents, coding assistants, or developer tools, DiffusionGemma is worth exploring to prototype faster and unlock new UX patterns.

[Google AI Developers @googleaidevs]

DiffusionGemma, our experimental open model released under an Apache 2.0 license, explores text diffusion, an exceptionally fast approach to text generation.

Here’s how DiffusionGemma accelerates development:

+ Faster token output: By shifting the bottleneck from memory bandwidth to raw compute, the model generates up to 4x faster token output on dedicated GPUs
+ Accessible hardware footprint: Activates just 3.8B parameters during inference, fitting comfortably within 24GB-VRAM high-end consumer GPUs when quantized
+ Novel workflows: Parallel token generation enables self-correction, making it ideal for code infilling, in-line editing, and non-linear structures

DiffusionGemma prioritizes speed over raw quality and accelerates best on compute-bound hardware (like @NVIDIAAI GPUs). Standard @GoogleGemma 4 remains recommended for production quality and memory-bound devices.
