Databricks unveils new AI Platform capabilities including ML engineering agents, a deep learning platform, and real-time ML features.
“There's never been a more dynamic, exciting time to be building your own AI models”
A walkthrough explains the Hermes AI agent's architecture: agentic loop, memory, context, and messaging gateways.
“the gateway is the system that is always running that allows you to connect to your um Hermes agent via Telegram, email, Slack, etc.”
Z.ai's GLM-5.2 becomes the world's top frontend coding model, beating all Opus versions including 4.8.
No meaningful AI content; the material is song lyrics from a music video.
Simon Willison released <click-to-play>, a Web Component that lazy-loads GIFs from a still frame.
“For when you don't want big GIFs to be loaded unless people want to play them.”
Brent Simmons is polishing open-source RSS reader NetNewsWire as a non-commercial retirement project.
“it's like podcasts, but for reading”
Databricks introduces the Agentic CDP, a new type of customer data platform built for the era of AI agents.
OpenAI launches LifeSciBench, an expert-authored benchmark for evaluating AI on real-world life science research tasks.
“Introducing LifeSciBench, an expert-authored, expert-reviewed benchmark for evaluating how AI systems handle real-world life science research tasks and decisions.”
Hugging Face promotes agentic resource discovery, letting AI agents search for resources autonomously.
AWS launches Bedrock Guardrails InvokeGuardrailChecks API for per-step safety checks in agentic AI loops.
“With this API, you can apply individual safeguards, also referred to as safety checks, at any point in your agentic AI applications without creating guardrail resources.”
NVIDIA launches XR AI, a reusable foundation for building AI agents on AR glasses and XR devices.
“The hardware is ready, but creating AI experiences requires integrating live camera and microphone streams, multimodal AI models, enterprise data, tool use, deployment infrastructure, and device-specific runtimes.”
AI agents that take actions break the static-guardrails-plus-human-approval security model enterprises rely on.
“why human-in-the-loop review can become security theater when agents operate at scale”
POSETTE 2026 Livestream 2 previews Postgres talks on the feature freeze, PG Lake, Oracle migration, internals, and authentication.
“Why do some Postgres patches make the cut while others miss the boat or even get reverted in the end?”
UK government partners with Google DeepMind on an AI prototype to speed up housing planning decisions.
Data pipeline architecture is the end-to-end design of how data is collected and processed.
Microsoft launched HorizonDB public preview and made 345 Postgres 19 commits while advancing AI-enhanced database tooling.
“In Postgres 19, Microsoft made about 345 commits to the upstream project and changed around 64,000 lines of code.”
A talk on designing schemas to use PostgreSQL's JSON/JSONB data type effectively rather than fearing it.
“we can tame this data type so that it provides you the best for your database schema”
A Postgres talk examines whether random_page_cost's 25-year-old default of 4.0 should be lowered for modern SSD storage.
“Sequential I/O is much faster, like, than random I/O. And that is true even on SSDs.”
A Microsoft PostgreSQL program manager explains how fuzzing finds deep bugs in complex codebases like databases.
“Fuzzing is automated testing that throws unexpected inputs.”
A developer demonstrates underused PostgreSQL features—range types, generated columns, and exclusion constraints—to solve real application problems more elegantly than standard SQL.
“engineering still needs creativity”
MCP servers for Postgres should enforce safe, typed tools rather than trusting LLMs to run arbitrary SQL.
“if your tool exposes the ability to do a deletion, there is some agent, some model out there that will do that deletion”
Microsoft is expanding its Postgres developer tooling beyond VS Code to support Cursor IDE and emerging AI agent workflows.
“development isn't just happening in editors anymore. The work is moving into new terminals with AI-driven tools, and our goal remains the same. We want to meet developers where they are.”
Apache AGE, a Postgres extension, brings graph workloads and visualization on top of relational data stores.
“A graph is just simply a way of thinking about data that prioritizes connections. A graph database is a system built to store and query that structure at scale.”
