  • Google Cloud Next 2025 recapped
​Google Cloud Next 2025, held in Las Vegas, showcased over 200 product and ecosystem announcements with a focus on the practical applications of AI in business.

If you weren't able to travel to Sin City, fear not because the Cloud Community team have you covered!

Key highlights included the unveiling of the Ironwood TPU, Google's seventh-generation chip designed to enhance generative AI inference, and the introduction of the Cloud Wide Area Network (Cloud WAN), a fully managed enterprise backbone offering up to 40% improved network performance and reduced total cost of ownership. ​

The event also highlighted the expansion of generative AI tools across various media, with updates to models like Veo 2 for video generation, Imagen 3 for image editing, and Chirp 3 for realistic voice synthesis. These tools are already being utilised by companies such as L'Oréal and Kraft Heinz to significantly reduce content production times. ​

Google also introduced Gemini 2.5 Flash, an efficiency-optimised AI model, and enhanced its Agentic AI tools to facilitate cross-platform communication among AI agents. And the hyperscaler's Cloud Marketplace now features a new section for businesses to browse and purchase third-party AI agents.
