Google Cloud Rolls Out Agent Substrate, GKE Agent Sandbox RL Tools in September

Google Cloud introduced GKE Agent Substrate, an open-source execution runtime it says can run millions of sandboxes with 10x higher density than standard container runtimes.

It also made GKE Agent Sandbox optimized for reinforcement learning generally available, alongside an orchestration SDK and native RL gym integrations. Google said GKE Pod snapshots can reduce AI inference start-up by as much as 89%, based on internal tests.
