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.

KOHO explains why AI self-serve analytics needs a strong data culture and a governed dbt foundation first.
CFBrainAug: Modularity-Induced Counterfactual Brain Network Augmentation for Interpretable fMRI-based Autism Diagnosis
arXiv:2610.32184v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) brain networks is promising for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but existing methods are prone to overfitting on limited training data, and their post-hoc statistical attribution offers limited clinical interpretability. We propose CFBrainAug, a counterfactual brain network learning framework that unifies data augmentation and counterfactual explanation by learning label-altered brain networks. Unlike conventional label-preserving augmentation, CFBrainAug first retrieves a label-opposite yet topologically similar candidate and then refines it under a module-number constraint. Jointly training on factual and counterfactual networks enriches the trainin
