Google updated its A2A Codelab in mid-June, demonstrating cross-framework Agent collaboration using Cloud Run, Agent Engine, and AgentCard. The main challenges lie in deployment and discovery.
On June 17, Google presented three integration approaches for A2UI and MCP Apps. Agent UI is shifting from 'webpage embedding' toward native rendering and controllable components.
Baseten is reportedly nearing a $1.5 billion funding round at a valuation of $11-13 billion. The open-model inference layer is emerging as a hard asset in capital markets.
