alt Hacker NewsThe reality with releases like this is that I'm 90% sure most Google bigwigs have never heard of it, and it's misleading to label it as "Google's" in the title.
Yes, it was developed by Google employees, that does not imply it has the full backing of Google, or Deepmind, or GCP. Notably, the website doesn't seem to claim this either.

It's got a formal announcement on the blog. 4 months ago.

I have no insider knowledge but https://x.com/rakyll is working on it and she is tweeting about it and I got the impression there is a quite a team behind it. It looks like an effort in GCP.
This /looks/ at least more official. Most unofficial Google projects have a disclaimer in the repo.
the repo description https://github.com/google/ax is "Google's open agentic orchestrator"

Google has around 200,000 employees. They probably haven't heard of most things Google releases.
It is on Google's github https://github.com/google/ax and the title comes from there.
