1. How to use Google microbenchmarks for evaluating TPU performance
URL: https://developers.googleblog.com/how-to-use-google-microbenchmarks-for-evaluating-tpu-performance/
Published: 2026-09-15 14:08
Summary:
Google’s open-source TPU microbenchmark suite provides developers with granular performance metrics across Network, Compute, HBM, Host Transfer, and Attention components to validate real-world hardware capabilities By leveraging these benchmarks to establish a Roofline model, engineers can accurately diagnose whether their machine learning workloads are compute-, memory-, or network-bound This empirical baseline directly guides targeted software optimizations—such as kernel tuning, mesh sharding, and rematerialization—to maximize hardware utilization for large-scale model deployments.
2. Agent and Model Evaluations in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform are now GA
Published: 2026-09-15 14:08
Summary:
Agent Platform’s evaluation service is now generally available, providing developers with a unified engine to measure agent quality consistently across local development experiments and live production traffic You can evaluate agents using over 20 pre-built metrics, DeepMind-backed adaptive rubrics, or custom code-based and LLM-as-a-judge metrics stored in a centralized, versioned registry The service integrates directly into existing workflows via the Agent Platform SDK, agents-cli, and ADK, offering built-in user and environment simulators to automate complex multi-turn testing and streamline CI pipelines.
3. Enable on-demand expertise with Agent Skills in Genkit Go

Summary:
A single unified model can therefore pool interaction signal across every canvas, so a member’s affinity learned on a high-traffic canvas immediately informs the artwork we pick on a sparse one One unified model over all five canvases, with image embeddings in its asset representation.As the chart below shows, each idea helped exactly where we expected: on the data-starved short-panel canvas and landscape-panel canvas We have since shipped MediaFM as the default video preview embedding across all platforms.Relative offline IPS lift for the two content-aware video preview embeddings, each measured against the ID-only baseline at the zero rule
2. A Tale of Two Flink Autoscalers
Published: 2026-08-21 16:01
Summary:
Each autoscaler node handled the metrics for a subset of Flink jobs, and we never had to write custom sharding or coordination logic to keep up with a growing Flink fleet Starting from the sources, the autoscaler walks the job graph and uses each operator’s TPR, its input/output ratios, and a target utilization to compute the parallelism every vertex needs so that no operator becomes the bottleneck, rather than resizing the whole cluster as a unit.Figure 2: Flink job DAG: current → desired parallelism per vertex, based on busynessThe two approaches make a different contract, summarized below.Table 1: Comparison of the two Flink autoscalersThe decisive difference for us is the last two rows: the OSS autoscaler can scale exactly the stateful, multi-operator jobs our homegrown system could not, and it lets each job carry its own configuration — stabilization periods, thresholds, and other scaling behavior tuned to the workload Having started supporting Flink 2.2 at Netflix, we plan on experimenting with this new state backend to see if it can help eliminate state recovery bottlenecks when scaling large stateful jobs.Looking ahead, we aim to migrate all internal scaler use cases onto the new one based on OSS autoscaler to simplify our operational surface area.Key TakeawaysAlong the way, three lessons that generalize beyond Flink:Metric choice matters more than algorithm sophistication
