Google's Agent Compute Engine provides hardware-isolated microVM for each Gemini agent

Google announced Agent Compute Engine, a service giving each AI agent its own isolated micro virtual machine secured by Google's Titanium chip. This service, which already powers Gemini, will open for preview in the coming months. The system features automatic VM pausing when idle, shared memory to reduce running costs, and Google claims it can fit ten times as many agents on a single server, with suspend and resume taking less than 500 milliseconds in a 200,000 agent test. Oversight features include token tracking, model routing, and support for third-party identity providers like Ping Identity and SailPoint.
