Bringing Gemma 4 12B to your Laptop: Unlocking Local, Agentic Workflows with Google AI Edge
Google Developers · AI & Machine Learning
Google DeepMind’s Gemma 4 12B model brings agentic, multimodal AI capabilities to everyday laptops with 16GB of RAM, enabling local data processing and visual insight generation Users can leverage this model on macOS through the Google AI Edge Gallery for dynamic Python code execution and visualization, as well as via Google AI Edge Eloquent for completely offline voice dictation and text editing Additionally, developer workflows are enhanced by the LiteRT-LM CLI’s new serve command, which creates an industry-compatible local endpoint to power fully-local AI tools and agents.

How Netflix Simplified Batch Compute with Kueue
Netflix TechBlog · Infrastructure & Scale
Reservations are not required to use CMB, so a tenant can run out of shared capacity entirely In addition, our learnings are being leveraged by other internal teams, including those building Kubernetes-native training infrastructure, to inform their job scheduling and queuing configurations.Fair Sharing and PreemptionWith Kueue, Preemption-based Fair Sharing allows Netflix Batch to maintain reservation semantics while lending resources to other tenants when those reservations are not in use For our customers, this means that tenants can use more idle capacity from reservations, submit more jobs without the risk of starvation, and have quicker turnaround times for business-critical workloads.An example preemption configuration on a ClusterQueue that we would be using is as follows:apiVersion: kueue.x-k8s.io/v1beta2kind: ClusterQueuemetadata: name: “team-a-cq”spec: preemption: reclaimWithinCohort: Any withinClusterQueue: LowerPriorityWith these features deployed, Compute has seen a significant increase in average resource utilization.AcknowledgementThis work would not have been possible without the great work of the entire Compute team at Netflix.How Netflix Simplified Batch Compute with Kueue was originally published in Netflix TechBlog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
Enhance Security and Trust: New Session Metadata in Sign in with Google
Google Developers · Security & Privacy
Google is enhancing Sign in with Google by introducing new OIDC standard claims—specifically auth_time and amr (Authentication Methods Reference) to provide developers with deeper session metadata These updates allow verified apps to verify the “freshness” of a user’s login and the specific authentication methods used (such as MFA or hardware keys), enabling more dynamic, risk-based access controls By leveraging these federated identity signals, platforms can better prevent account takeover and fraud while implementing granular security policies like step-up authentication for sensitive actions.
