A recent Google Cloud survey indicates that 83% of organizations believe they need to overhaul their AI infrastructure to effectively deploy AI agents. The report highlights that traditional infrastructure, designed for continuous inference, struggles with the complex, multi-step processing required by AI agents, leading to significant "inference taxes" and operational complexities. To address these challenges, Google Cloud proposes a "fluid compute" approach, utilizing specialized hardware like TPU 8t for training, TPU 8i for low-latency inference, and Google Axion for control plane operations, alongside tools like Agent Gateway for enhanced security and governance.
