By Dhruv Pratap Introduction Organizations that have been around for a while usually run two identity systems side by side. One belongs to the cloud provider: IAM roles, instance profiles, execution roles. The other is your own, and it is the one your internal services actually check when they decide whether to answer a request. On infrastructure …

When you post-train a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) or Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) at scale, three simultaneous challenges emerge. The first requires coordinating heterogeneous compute for rollout generation and policy training. Second, sustaining high-throughput communication across hundreds of accelerators. And third, dynamically orchestrating every subsystem to keep them …

Reinforcement learning (RL) has been a keystone of modern LLM post-training, but it demands large training clusters and access to model internals that external customers can’t have with proprietary models like Gemini. So here at Google Cloud, we packaged it into a managed RL fine-tuning service (RLFT service) — you bring prompts and a reward …

Any team working with spoken audio hits the same wall with generic speech-to-text. Think contact-center calls, all-hands meetings, podcasts, depositions, and broadcast media. These workloads need two things that standard transcription gets wrong. First, timestamps land at the utterance level, off by several seconds. Second, there’s no reliable answer to “who said what.” Those gaps …
