  • •The service aims to improve efficiency by allowing agents to pause when idle.
  • •Governance controls include token tracking and support for third-party identity providers.

Google has announced the Agent Compute Engine, a service that provides each AI agent with its own isolated micro virtual machine (microVM). This service, which powers the Gemini AI agents, is set to open for preview later this year. Each microVM is secured by Google's Titanium chip and can pause when idle, allowing for efficient resource management. Google claims that this setup can support ten times as many agents on a single server, with a resume time of less than 500 milliseconds. The service also includes governance features such as token tracking, model routing, and support for third-party identity providers. The announcement was made on October 22, 2026, and no security vulnerabilities or exploitation concerns were reported in relation to this new service.
