PaaS + IaaS Google Cloud Next proves what we suspected: Everything is AI now Join us for this week's Kettle as we dive into GCN and the latest not-so-alarming revelations about Mythos Brandon Vigliarolo Mon 27 Apr 2026 // 00:01 UTC KETTLE If you needed further evidence that AI comes first in pretty much everything nowadays, look no further than this year's Google Cloud Next show, which happened last week. This week on the Kettle, systems editor Tobias Mann and cybersecurity editor Jessica Lyons join reporter Brandon Vigliarolo to talk not only about all the news out of GCN this past week, but also to discuss the other big AI headline: The incredibly small amount of time it took someone to gain improper access to Anthropic's Mythos cybersecurity AI model. Google Cloud Next, ostensibly a cloud event, was packed with AI announcements like a split in Google's Tensor lineup with two versions of 8th generation chips coming out, one for inference and one for training. New AI security agents were also shown off, as was a refreshed version of Google's Vertex AI development platform, which has been renamed Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and redesigned to serve as a single space to create and manage AI agents. <a href="https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?co=1&amp;iu=/6978/reg_offprem/paasiaas&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=2&amp;c=2ae6olm5XdXkhxczxEVX8WgAAABQ&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D2%26raptor%3Dcondor%26pos%3Dtop%26test%3D0" target="_blank"> <img src="https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?co=1&amp;iu=/6978/reg_offprem/paasiaas&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=2&amp;c=2ae6olm5XdXkhxczxEVX8WgAAABQ&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D2%26raptor%3Dcondor%26pos%3Dtop%26test%3D0" alt=""> </a> We also dive into the aforementioned Mythos leak and early Project Glasswing results, which suggest Mythos is, unsurprisingly, less capable than the hype made it out to be. <a href="https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?co=1&amp;iu=/6978/reg_offprem/paasiaas&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44ae6olm5XdXkhxczxEVX8WgAAABQ&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0" target="_blank"> <img src="https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?co=1&amp;iu=/6978/reg_offprem/paasiaas&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44ae6olm5XdXkhxczxEVX8WgAAABQ&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0" alt=""> </a> You can listen to The Kettle here, as well as on Spotify Apple Music. ® <strong>Get our</strong> <a href="https://whitepapers.theregister.com/" style="text-transform:uppercase">Tech Resources</a> Share More about AI Anthropic Cybersecurity More like these × More about AI Anthropic Cybersecurity Google Cloud Next Kettle Narrower topics AIOps Center for Internet Security Claude DeepSeek Gemini Google AI GPT-3 GPT-4 Machine Learning MCubed Neural Networks NLP Retrieval Augmented Generation RSA Conference Star Wars Tensor Processing Unit TOPS Zero trust Broader topics Google Cloud Platform Large Language Model Security Self-driving Car More about Share POST A COMMENT More about AI Anthropic Cybersecurity More like these × More about AI Anthropic Cybersecurity Google Cloud Next Kettle Narrower topics AIOps Center for Internet Security Claude DeepSeek Gemini Google AI GPT-3 GPT-4 Machine Learning MCubed…
