How Infinitas Learning uses ClickHouse Managed Postgres to process billions of events for 1.6M unique learners
Infinitas Learning runs transactions for 1.6 million learners on ClickHouse Managed Postgres and serves real-time analytics to teachers from ClickHouse Cloud, where distributed cache cut P99 latency from about 13 seconds to 410 milliseconds.
Oracle wants to pull stalled AI agents out of demo mode and into production
Companies want AI agents faster than they can build the AI architecture to run them. Most can put together a convincing demo. Far fewer can move agents into production without exposing data, hurting uptime or blowing their budgets. That gap is pushing database providers to rethink what a data platform for agents has to deliver. […] The post Oracle wants to pull stalled AI agents out of demo mode and into production appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Same model, better answer: Enterprise data is what turns generic AI into a business tool
Generic AI models can write SQL, but they don’t know a company’s orders, customers or revenue definitions. Now, Oracle Database aims to give AI agents the context to move a stalled order forward. But that shift raises questions about complexity, lock-in and security as AI agents start acting on live transactions. Oracle Corp.’s answer is […] The post Same model, better answer: Enterprise data is what turns generic AI into a business tool appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Customers are pulling data back into the Oracle database as agents demand real-time access
A shared semantic layer is fast becoming the dividing line between lakehouses built for reporting and those built for artificial intelligence. As AI agents join human analysts in querying corporate data, enterprises need platforms that make sense of information scattered across clouds, formats and rival systems. Oracle Corp. has spent the past year rebuilding its […] The post Customers are pulling data back into the Oracle database as agents demand real-time access appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Fencing a Postgres primary that might still be alive
Promoting a standby doesn't stop the old Postgres primary from taking writes. Here's how the control plane behind ClickHouse Managed Postgres fences it on bare metal, AWS and GCP, and why the design is fail-open.
Oracle connects AI-driven testing with a new approach to database security
Frontier AI models that uncover software flaws by the hundreds are forcing database providers into larger, faster patch cycles, and real application testing is becoming the safeguard that keeps those fixes from breaking production systems. The same AI wave is also undermining security rules written into applications. Oracle Corp. has responded on two fronts, hardening […] The post Oracle connects AI-driven testing with a new approach to database security appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
The Agentic Analytics Benchmark: ranking tables and labeling failures with Jev
Jev ranks warehouse tables and labels agent failures in under a second, but adding retrieval hints leaves accuracy flat across 20 models on the Agentic Analytics Benchmark.
The new cost-based join optimizer with reordering support for non-inner joins
ClickHouse’s new exhaustive cost-based join optimizer safely reorders inner, outer, semi, and anti joins to find the cheapest valid plan.
OpenAI has rewritten the history of human science! “The King’s Conjecture” has been disproven on all fronts, and the 30-year-old ironclad rule governing ETH has collapsed.
New智元 reports: Honestly, the history of human science has been completely rewritten tonight! Just now, OpenAI dropped three major announcements in quick succession, officially revealing that its internal AI independently achieved three groundbreaking discoveries—each a true “milestone”: In mathematics, it proved the “local smoothness conjecture” in all dimensions, finally putting an end to the “Kakeya conjecture,” which had puzzled the mathematical community for a century; in computer science, it refuted the “Exponential Time Hypothesis” (ETH), which has dominated the field for nearly 30 years; and in theoretical physics, it provided insights into four-dimensional quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and pure...

Supabase’s Plan for a Billion AI-Built Apps
AI agents are creating more software—and that changes what a backend needs to do. Supabase co-founders Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson join swyx to discuss running long-lived workloads alongside the database, making schemas easier for agents to underst...
Expanding Customer Notifications for ClickHouse Managed Postgres
ClickHouse Managed Postgres is adding five new customer notifications: inactive replication slots, planned switchovers, unplanned failovers, long-running transactions, and connections approaching their limit.
How Shipsidekick replaced Neon with ClickHouse Managed Postgres for 10x faster queries and better reliability
Shipsidekick moved from Neon to ClickHouse Managed Postgres in a single weekend, cutting CPU usage from 100% to 5-10% and making queries about 10x faster.
Front-end observability at scale: How OpenReplay captures billions of daily events in real time with ClickHouse
OpenReplay replaced Postgres with ClickHouse to ingest billions of events and up to 6 TB a day on a single, vertically scaled instance, with sub-second queries and retention handled by a single TTL setting.
Microsoft and Hugging Face have open-sourced the ThinkingBox framework: using the database’s final state as a deterministic reward signal to advance post-training reinforcement learning for agents.
Microsoft and Hugging Face have jointly launched the open-source framework ThinkingBox, which generates binary 0/1 rewards by comparing the LLM agent’s final database state after execution with the expected state, for reinforcement learning-based fine-tuning. The accompanying benchmark, ThinkingBox-Bench, includes 507 real-world backend tasks, none of which were used during training. After 50 steps of GRPO fine-tuning, Qwen3.8-27B achieved a 9.08-percentage-point improvement in pass@1 on the held-out test set, with Observed 20/20 nearly tripling; however, pass@20 declined in some domains, reflecting a trade-off between breadth and stability.
Trace and evaluate Cursor agents with Langfuse, powered by ClickHouse
Connect Cursor to Langfuse to trace every agent turn, pinpoint expensive model and tool calls, and use evaluations to confirm a fix actually helps, with ClickHouse powering the analytics underneath.
PHP ‘Doomsday Vulnerability’ Exposed: OpenAI and Wiz Use AI to Discover a High-Risk Flaw Spanning 20 Years
The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) issued an urgent alert: OpenAI and Google’s Wiz team, working together using AI tools, have discovered two critical vulnerabilities affecting all PHP versions 5 and above (since 2004). These vulnerabilities could allow remote exploitation of the server’s file system or database. While there are currently no reports of real-world exploitation, AI has significantly lowered the barrier to attack, making it imperative for tens of millions of websites worldwide to urgently upgrade to PHP 8.5.12.
The Agentic Analytics Benchmark, round two: GPT-6, Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5
We added GPT-6 Astra, Luna and Sol, Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 to the Agentic Analytics Benchmark: all five land mid-board within a point of each other, and Sonnet 5.5 brings the biggest change in turns, cost and truncated runs.
