Big moment for Postgres! AI agents broke the idea of what a database is supposed to do. Traditional databases were built for humans, and Agents broke that model. - They branch endlessly. - They run ten experiments at once. - They need isolation, context, memory, structured reasoning, and safe sandboxes. Letting agents touch production systems is terrifying because the old model of Postgres was never built for this kind of behavior. Agentic Postgres is an agent-ready version of Postgres by TimescaleDB (by Tiger Data) that solves this. I think it is one of the biggest upgrades to the Agent stack this year and Tiger Data is working with me on this post to share what they did. Some key features: > It instantly creates branches of an entire database, which is perfect for parallel agent evals, safe experiments, migrations, or isolated testing. Forks take seconds and cost almost nothing. > It comes with a built-in MCP server, which agents can use to get schema guidance, best practices, and safe, structured access to Postgres. This is also helpful to run migrations with a real understanding. > It comes with actual hybrid search (vector search and BM25), so Agents can retrieve data directly inside the database. > The database is Memory native. This gives a persistent context for Agents to evolve. This is one of the first times I have seen Postgres feel ready for the AI native era.

AI agents are creating a new enterprise challenge: economics. At Dell Technologies Technologies World 2026, Ihab Tarazi of Dell and NVIDIA's Jason Hardy explained why the next phase of enterprise AI isn't about access to models, it's about controlling the cost of compute, storage, and the explosion of data agents create. The next wave of AI success will be defined by how organizations manage the economics behind agents at scale. $NVDA $DELL

In a year, 100% of code will be written by LLMs.” At SpaceXAI, more than 70% of engineers are already using GrokBot to build self-learning agentic systems. In a 40-minute talk, Elon sits down with SpaceXAI engineers and discusses what the future of AI engineering is really going to look like.This conversation is honestly worth more than 2 hours of any Stanford lecture on AI engineering.

One line from Prasanna Sankar has stayed with me: "You're not helping AI anymore. You're getting in the way by being in the way." That's exactly why he's building Vorflux Not another AI coding assistant. His vision is an autonomous AI software engineer that can build software with minimal human involvement. Coming from someone who was India's #1 competitive programmer, helped build Rippling into a $15B company, and once turned down Facebook's $100M acquisition offer, it's a perspective worth paying attention to. In this conversation, we go deep on: • Why AI has already surpassed humans at software engineering. • Why tools like Cursor and Claude Code are only the beginning—and how Vorflux is thinking differently. • Why the engineer of the future becomes a "builder." • The story behind building Rippling and starting over from scratch. • Why he turned down Facebook's $100M acquisition offer. • Why he believes we're moving toward zero-employee companies. • What humans will be uniquely valuable for in an AI-first world. One of the most thought-provoking conversations I've had on AI and the future of software. Full conversation is now live on the 1947 Rise Podcast. Link in comments Prasanna S Vorflux

When electric motors were invented, factories didn't become dramatically more productive overnight. The biggest gains came years later, after people redesigned factories around the new technology. Databricks co-founder and Chief Architect Reynold Xin (Reynold Xin) believes AI is creating a similar shift in software. In this fireside with YC's Diana, Reynold explains how AI agents are reshaping engineering organizations, why startups have an advantage in building AI-native products, and why the next generation of infrastructure needs to be lightweight, scalable, and built for agentic workloads from day one.
