HeyGen ports Avatar IV model to Google Cloud TPUs

HeyGen has ported its 18B+ parameter Avatar IV video generation model to Google Cloud's Trillium (v6e) TPUs. Using torchax and XLA with FSDP and Ulysses sequence parallelism, the team achieved a 1.86x speedup for real-time streaming. The optimizations were deployed only after a two-tier quality gate confirmed pixel outputs stayed identical.

Google Cloud API Gateway turns REST APIs into MCP tools

Google Cloud API Gateway now acts as a native remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Developers can add a specific annotation to existing OpenAPI 3.x specs to turn standard REST operations into tools that AI agents can use. Agent traffic is then subject to existing authentication, quota, and logging policies.
