Announcing the Colab MCP Server: Connect Any AI Agent to Google Colab

NASA’s X-59 is helping the nation celebrate the 250th anniversary of its independence with an update to its livery – its official paint job and insignia. The one-of-a-kind research aircraft is the centerpiece of NASA’s Quesst mission to demonstrate technology to fly supersonic, or faster than the speed of sound, without generating loud sonic booms.

Google Cloud has introduced the Agents CLI, a specialized tool designed to bridge the gap between local development and production-grade AI agent deployment. The CLI provides coding assistants with machine-readable access to the full Google Cloud stack, reducing context overload and token waste during the scaffolding process. By streamlining evaluation, infrastructure provisioning, and deployment into a single programmatic backbone, the tool enables developers to move from initial concept to a live service in hours rather than weeks.

Gemini CLI introduces Plan Mode, a read-only environment for analyzing codebases. It helps developers refine strategies without risking accidental execution.

Developers can standardize AI agent communication using new protocols. This simplifies data access and task handling for users.

Developers can create a smart financial assistant using LlamaParse and Gemini 3.1 to extract data from complex documents. This helps transform unstructured financial data into readable insights.

Developers can streamline motion-controlled game development using Gemini and MediaPipe tools. This workflow helps create responsive gameplay with low-latency models.
