Background & analysis
On October 23, 2026, The Decoder reported that Google introduced Agent Compute Engine, a runtime environment built specifically for AI agents. Under this setup, each Gemini agent runs inside its own hardware-isolated micro virtual machine, so individual agents execute their tasks in separate, isolated environments.
The same report notes that Google has also expanded its governance capabilities, allowing companies to manage agents across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. The report did not disclose a release timeline, pricing, or availability scope for the product, nor did it detail the technical specifics of the isolation mechanism. Public information currently stops at the product launch and its described capabilities.
