Google Releases A2A Protocol and 7th Gen TPU, Accelerating the Era of AI Agents and Inference: Google has launched the open-source Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, designed to enable secure communication and collaboration between AI Agents from different vendors and frameworks. It complements, rather than replaces, the MCP protocol (MCP connects Agents to tools, A2A connects Agents to Agents). A2A adheres to principles like capability discovery, task management, collaboration, and user experience negotiation, and has already gained support from over 50 partners. Concurrently, Google unveiled its 7th generation TPU (Ironwood/TPU v7), optimized for AI inference. It boasts an FP8 compute power of 4614 TFlops, 192GB of HBM per chip with 7.2 TBps bandwidth, and twice the energy efficiency of its predecessor. The highest configuration cluster (9216 chips) achieves a computing power of 42.5 ExaFlops. This hardware aims to support “thinking” models like Gemini and next-generation AI Agent applications, signaling a shift in AI from reactive responses to proactive insight generation.

AI Achieves Breakthrough Progress in Mathematical Olympiad: Results from the second AI Mathematical Olympiad – Progress Prize 2 show significant advancements in AI’s ability to solve challenging math problems. The top model scored an impressive 34/50 in a test consisting of entirely new problems, with limited computational resources (under $1 per problem), and requiring precise integer answers (0-999). This far exceeds previous research where human evaluators estimated LLMs could only achieve around 5% accuracy. Even a relatively basic DeepSeek R1 derivative model scored 28/50. This outcome indicates that AI’s mathematical reasoning capabilities, particularly on Olympiad-level problems requiring creative problem-solving, are rapidly improving and are not merely based on pattern matching or data memorization.
