Research to Reality with Google DeepMind — Paige Bailey, Google DeepMind
Google DeepMind launched managed agents API for multi-agent sandbox task execution
“take, um, a kind of higher-level task described in natural language, and have a group of agents execute it in a sandbox like a Linux workstation”
Paige Bailey of Google DeepMind presented a wave of new API releases including a computer use API, a managed agents system that orchestrates groups of agents to execute natural-language tasks inside sandboxed Linux environments, and a speech-to-speech translation API. The talk also spotlighted Gemini 3.5 Flash and open model Gemma 4, framing all releases within DeepMind's AI-for-science mission. The managed agents announcement is the strongest engineering signal — it positions Google as a direct competitor to emerging agentic orchestration platforms.
