SUNSET — gemini-robotics-er-1.6-preview shuts down on August 31. Thirteen days out, which makes this the week to actually start the migrationMIGRATION — The replacements are gemini-robotics-er-2-preview and gemini-robotics-er-2-streaming-preview, both in public preview since July 30 and both accepting text, image, video, and audio inputPRICING — Gemini 3.7 Flash went GA on August 13 at an introductory price that runs through December 31, 2026, so anything spanning the new year needs a two-stage cost estimateDEPRECATION — The temperature, top_p, and top_k sampling parameters are now deprecated. If your code sets them explicitly, measure the output difference without them while there is still timeVIDEO — Gemini Omni Flash, a model for generating and editing video, is available in Google AI Studio and through the Gemini APILOGS — The Interactions API now supports developer logs, viewable for supported calls from the AI Studio dashboardSUNSET — gemini-robotics-er-1.6-preview shuts down on August 31.

Measuring a Guard in environment hooks: 46 Microseconds to Decide, 23 Milliseconds to Start

A record of building a destructive-command guard for Managed Agents environment hooks. A regex denylist let 9 of 20 dangerous commands through; argv parsing reached 100 percent detection. The startup cost turned out to be 500 times the decision cost.

When Two Managed Agents Fight Over the Same Repo: External Leases and Fencing for Isolated Sandboxes

Every Managed Agents run gets its own isolated sandbox, so a local lock cannot stop two runs from touching the same repo or record. Here is how I serialize them safely with an external lease and a fencing token.
