In 1970, IBM researcher Edgar F. Codd published an 11-page paper that changed database design.
He proposed organizing data using mathematical relations instead of forcing programmers to navigate rigid tree structures.
Decades later, developers embraced XML databases, then schemaless JSON stores, with endless predictions that SQL was finished.
Then some of those systems started adding schema validation, joins, ACID transactions, and SQL-like query languages.
Turns out changing how you store data doesn’t make the relationships between it disappear.

A closer look at fall colors around Yale, one leaf at a time. 🍁
ALT A close-up of a vibrant red maple leaf held against a backdrop of trees displaying autumn foliage in shades of green, yellow, and orange. Sunlight filters through the leaves, highlighting the intricate veins of the maple leaf.

One reason I am sanguine about the technological singularity is that I have seen it coming for over 50 years. In 1975, when I was 17, I wrote:
"Before man can most effectively aid his problem solving machinery, he must first understand it. At present, his understanding is very poor. However, when the breakthrough in understanding the brain occurs, improvement will come very fast and in an exponential increase. Once man has created an intelligence greater than his own, that intelligence should be able to create an intelligence greater than itself, as man whose intelligence is less than its was able to create its intelligence. Thus, the level of intelligence will shoot up with incredible rapidity, probably within the space of years. Within a few years of a breakthrough, which may occur any time now, man will either have been left behind by a superior intelligence of his own making, which he can no longer understand, or he will have become that intelligence and will no longer be like anything imaginable today."

Agents keep going for days, even weeks.
They notice when something breaks and unblock themselves. Close your laptop, and the agent keeps watching your training run through the night.
In one overnight run, agents in Lor found security bugs in LiteLLM and fixed them by morning.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

How concerned should we be about plague?
Following the mysterious death of a researcher at a Russian laboratory, plague is back in the headlines. But Yale physician-scientist Ingrid Katz says there's no evidence so far that the incident poses a broader threat to the public.
In a Q&A, Katz explains what we know and don't know, how different forms of plague spread, and why careful investigation matters more than speculation: bit.ly/3WvX1oP

Excited to share TokenGate. By teaching LLMs to conditionally skim context tokens, we achieve up to 11.3x faster prefill and drastically reduce peak memory for long-context tasks!

The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.

Passed by the @CheaperInfer booth at AgntCon.
Awesome work @fabrice_mayrand and Eamonn.

Every new agent can become another integration, policy set and observability stack to maintain.
As agents take actions across data, models, tools and business systems, that fragmentation gets expensive fast. The better pattern is shared infrastructure for choice, context and control:
1️⃣ Agent Bricks for building, governing and optimizing agent fleets
2️⃣ Omnigent for composing agents across harnesses
3️⃣ Unity Gateway for centralized access, cost controls and observability
