Google Named a Leader in IDC MarketScape for Foundation Models

Google has been named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Foundation Model Software. This recognition highlights Google’s long-standing focus on enterprise-grade infrastructure, security, and data platforms—long before generative AI became the talk of the swamp.

While other caimans were busy splashing around with flashy demos, Google was quietly building the deep pools of reliability and scalability that enterprises need. Now, with Gemini Enterprise, they’re bringing that foundation to the agentic era.

Gemini Enterprise: A Unified System for the Agentic Era

Gemini Enterprise combines the Gemini Enterprise app for business users with the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform for developers. The platform abstracts away the complexity of building, scaling, and governing AI agents—whether they handle customer-facing workflows or internal operations.

Agents built on the platform can be instantly surfaced in the Gemini Enterprise app, giving teams secure access to custom tools. With governance, security, and cryptographic identity baked in, organizations can focus on driving outcomes instead of managing risk.

Powered by Gemini 3.5 Flash

At I/O this year, Google kicked off the Gemini 3.5 series with Gemini 3.5 Flash. It’s designed for complex, multi-step agentic tasks, delivering intelligence at speed. Built on purpose-built AI infrastructure, it trains deeper reasoning faster with each generation.

Developers can build agents using Gemini 3.5 Flash on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Google AI Studio, or Antigravity. Business users can access it in the Gemini Enterprise app starting today.
