# Google named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Foundation Model Software > Source: > Published: 2026-07-14 18:00:00+00:00 For years, we’ve built with a clear priority: putting the practical needs of the enterprise first. Long before generative AI dominated the headlines, we were focused on building the global infrastructure, security frameworks, and data platforms that power the world's largest organizations. We’ve always believed that technology is only as good as its reliability, security, and predictability in production. By anchoring our frontier research to this enterprise foundation, we can deliver models built specifically for business impact. We believe that approach is why Google has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Foundation Model Software 2026 Vendor Assessment1. We believe this placement highlights our history of turning cutting-edge frontier research into secure, production-grade systems that developers can deploy at scale. We believe Google’s position as a Leader highlights the exact momentum we are seeing in the market. We believe this placement validates the unique strength of our integrated, first-party AI stack. By translating Google DeepMind’s continuous pipeline of fundamental research into production-grade business products, we unite our robust infrastructure and foundation model software to work together seamlessly as a single, unified solution. A great foundation model is only as valuable as an organization's ability to safely put it to work. In the enterprise, that value is realized when models are given the tools, memory, and agency to act as autonomous partners – moving from simple prompt-and-response text to dynamic agents that can execute complex business workflows. Gemini Enterprise serves as this end-to-end system. It brings our most powerful developer capabilities and user-facing tools together into a single architecture, featuring the Gemini Enterprise app as the front door for everyday business teams to interact with AI, and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform for developers to orchestrate them behind the scenes. Agent Platform abstracts away the underlying complexity of how technical teams build, scale, govern, and optimize these agents – whether they are handling customer-facing workflows or managing internal operations. Any agent engineered on the platform can be instantly surfaced in the Gemini Enterprise app, giving your workforce immediate access to secure, custom-built tools. Because rigorous governance, enterprise security, and cryptographic identity are baked into the foundation by default, organizations can stop worrying about managing technological risk and start focusing entirely on driving agent-led business outcomes. Our latest models are built specifically to orchestrate and execute complex, multi-step actions. At I/O this year, we kicked off the Gemini 3.5 series with the release of Gemini 3.5 Flash. It delivers intelligence on multiple dimensions at speeds you have come to expect from the Flash series. It’s ideal for tackling long-horizon agentic tasks. Google DeepMind engineered these models from the ground up using our purpose-built AI infrastructure. This unique co-design of the model and hardware allows us to train deeper reasoning capabilities faster and more efficiently with every new generation.** ** Developers can build agents using Gemini 3.5 Flash on the [Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform](https://console.cloud.google.com/agent-platform/overview), or use it in your projects in [Google AI Studio](http://aistudio.google.com/apps) and [Antigravity](https://antigravity.google/). Business users can use Gemini 3.5 Flash in the [Gemini Enterprise app](https://cloud.google.com/gemini-enterprise?e=48754805) to help discover, create, and use the best of Google AI in their workflows starting today.
