50+ fully managed MCP servers now available for Google Cloud services

At Google Cloud Next ‘26, we announced that more than 50 Google-managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are generally available or in preview, with more on the way. Why it matters: To move beyond experimental prototypes, AI agents must be able to access real-world data and solve complex problems autonomously. Google-managed Managed Context Protocol (MCP) …

Automate repetitive tasks with Amazon Quick Flows

Consider a typical Monday morning: you’re manually copying data from several different systems to create a weekly report, then formatting it for different stakeholders. This single task can consume several hours that could be spent on more strategic work. Multiply this across your team, and these repetitive tasks add up quickly. Amazon Quick Flows automates these …

Learning Long-Term Motion Embeddings for Efficient Kinematics Generation

Understanding and predicting motion is a fundamental component of visual intelligence. Although modern video models exhibit strong comprehension of scene dynamics, exploring multiple possible futures through full video synthesis remains prohibitively inefficient. We model scene dynamics orders of magnitude more efficiently by directly operating on a long-term motion embedding that is learned from large-scale trajectories …

Day 2 at Google Cloud Next: A marathon developer keynote

At Google Cloud, every day is Developer Day, but none so much as day 2 of Google Cloud Next, when we hold the developer keynote.  This year’s topic? An in-depth look at Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. This year’s theme? Planning a marathon for 10,000 participants through the Las Vegas Strip. OK, let’s run with it.  …

ParaRNN: Large-Scale Nonlinear RNNs, Trainable in Parallel

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are naturally suited to efficient inference, requiring far less memory and compute than attention-based architectures, but the sequential nature of their computation has historically made it impractical to scale up RNNs to billions of parameters. A new advancement from Apple researchers makes RNN training dramatically more efficient — enabling large-scale training …

Amazon Quick for marketing: From scattered data to strategic action

Imagine the following scenario: You’re leading marketing campaigns, creating content, or driving demand generation. Your campaigns are scattered and your insights are buried. By the time you’ve pieced together what’s working, the moment to act has already passed. This isn’t a tools problem because you have plenty of those. It’s a connection problem. Your marketing …

Apple Machine Learning Research at ICLR 2026

Apple is advancing AI and ML with fundamental research, much of which is shared through publications and engagement at conferences in order to accelerate progress in this important field and support the broader community. This week, the Fourteenth International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Apple is …
