Investing.com -- GitLab Inc shares rose 6.2% in post-market trading Monday following the announcement of an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud.

GitLab stock gained after the company said Google Cloud customers can now power GitLab Duo Agent Platform with Vertex AI models they already use, with usage counting toward existing Google Cloud commitments.

The partnership allows AI agents in GitLab Duo Agent Platform to call foundation models through Vertex AI, including Gemini models, with agent actions governed by GitLab’s built-in compliance and audit controls. Organizations can run GitLab’s AI Gateway on Google Cloud without provisioning or managing separate AI infrastructure.

GitLab said customers with Google Cloud commitments can count GitLab Duo Agent Platform usage toward their existing spend. The company positioned the collaboration as addressing enterprise needs for model performance and governance as AI agents become central to software development.

GitLab serves as the system of record for issues, code, merge requests, pipelines, and security findings. The company said when an agent generates a code suggestion, it draws context from the issue that prompted the work, the repository’s existing patterns, and the CI pipeline that will validate the result. Every agent action flows through the same access controls, approval rules, and audit logging that developers already follow, according to the company.
