Google announced Agent Compute Engine (ACE), a Google Cloud service that gives each AI agent its own hardware-isolated microVM for running code, calling tools, controlling browsers and completing multistep tasks. The environments can suspend when idle, release resources and later restore file and memory state. Google said a test involving 200,000 agents showed pause and resume taking less than 500 milliseconds. ACE initially supports Gemini, the Gemini platform, Antigravity and Google’s internal model-evaluation and reinforcement-learning workflows. Developers will be able to use ACE through Google Cloud, controlling environments’ images, identities, network access and lifecycles while Google manages underlying resource scheduling and scaling.
