  2. Sep 20, 2026Wavect published a source and architecture review of Google AX at commit d8ed0fe38bce, noting the Task policies field for budget and approval configuration had been removed in that commit.
  3. Sep 21, 2026Google's AX reached #1 on Hacker News with 179 points and 74 comments under the title "Google's Open Agentic Orchestrator"; HyperAI, explainx.ai and n1n.ai published explainers the same day.
