Daily AI News
for Executives
Short, practical updates on AI, business strategy, and emerging technology — curated for founders, operators, and executives.
Summary
Google retired Vertex AI in a single afternoon and replaced it with the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform — what Sundar Pichai called "mission control for the agentic enterprise." Stephen Forte argues this is the moment AI agents got an HR system: cryptographic identity, a directory, an access gateway, and a performance review.
In this episode:
- Why Vertex AI is gone — and what the replacement actually does
- The four pillars of the Agent Platform translated into HR terms (hire, deploy, supervise, review)
- The traction numbers Google disclosed: 40% QoQ growth, 8M seats, 2,800 enterprises
- The structural reveal: Anthropic crossed $30B annualized revenue — and is now Google Cloud's largest TPU customer
- Two concrete moves to make this quarter, plus one CEO-mirror question to leave you with
The closing line: The compute will commoditize. The control plane will not.
