Platform teams that treat internal developers like customers tend to stick around. The ones that act like they have a captive audience eventually discover that shadow IT is real and developers are creative about routing around tools they don't like.

[Part 1/2]

🥳 New updates to the #Gemini Files Input API 🥳

✅ Increased the file size limit 20MB --> 100MB.
✅ Support for public like a PDF or image.
✅ Support for Google Cloud Storage (GCS) files. No need to move bytes anymore, you can register the files directly with the Files API.
Increased file size limits and expanded inputs support in Gemini API
The Gemini API now supports increased inline file size limit of 100MB and new file inputs from GCS buckets and any HTTP/Signed URL.

Stop giving your AI Agents the keys to the castle. 🔑🚫

When an LLM generates and runs code, that is "untrusted input." Running it in a standard container is risky 😱. The Agent Sandbox uses gVisor to create a "secure bubble" for untrusted code
