Don't worry, we are actively working on GraalVM within our own distribution like we aways did, with releases shipping as scheduled, and major projects, such as Crema, Layers, and others coming along nicely. See also xitter.cf/thomaswue/status/21000…
The @GraalVM team at Oracle continues to develop the Java JIT compiler in Java based on JVMCI as part of the GraalVM open source project. In the future, it will just not be supported in HotSpot, but will continue to have support in SubstrateVM. The removal of JVMCI is specific to OpenJDK.

What's the difference between a converged database and multi-model database? 🤔

At the moment AI created PRs seem to be a nightmare of noise for some OSS projects. But let’s assume we fix that.
One way perhaps the industry can find a new way to invest into OSS is a way to donate unused tokens towards features they want to sponsor.

When you create a VECTOR index, one of the strange concepts is that you specify an ACCURACY level for the index. Why would an index NOT be accurate? Let's explore conceptually why this makes sense for Vector indexes.

What is a converged database?
It's a single database engine that natively supports multiple data models under one optimizer, one transaction boundary, one consistency model, and one security and governance domain, exposed through the access surfaces developers expect, including SQL, document APIs, and REST.
Take an in-depth look at what that means in the context of Oracle AI Database, the five testable criteria, and some AI use cases. social.ora.cl/6017BEKtdF

Next time someone tells you that "all databases are the same nowadays", they've probably not really looked at what really matters to their business.
