PAP v0.1, the Google Gemini Agent general availability, and the A2A Agent Registry formal spec were all promised for October 2026. As of October 10, none have arrived. The delivery gap is the infrastructure story. The most significant development in agent infrastructure this month is a silence. October 2026 was the target for three foundational specifications: the Personal Agent Protocol v0.1 , the Google Gemini Agent general availability, and the A2A Agent Registry formal spec. As of October 10, none have shipped. This delivery gap defines the current infrastructure cycle, overshadowing any individual product launch.
