AI in supply chain: from demand forecasting to AI agents
Summary
Accelerating clinical AI adoption across diagnostics, documentation, and drug discovery faces tightening regulatory scrutiny as the European AI Act will classify most clinical systems as high-risk by 2026. Successfully navigating these mandates alongside HIPAA requires teams to anchor deployments in human oversight, bias-tested training data, and staged validation to safely augment clinical judgment.

Evaluation-First AI Agents: How Zepto Scales Customer Support on Databricks and MLflow
Zepto built its customer support agents on Databricks and MLflow using an evaluation-first approach, treating traces, golden datasets, and LLM-as-judge checks as core infrastructure and connecting development and production through a dual-loop architecture with a strict quality gate. The result: 65% lower support costs and payback in under a month, giving other AI builders a reusable blueprint for engineering reliability, cost, and risk into production-grade agents.
SQL Data Types: Reference and Best Practices
SQL data types aren't just syntax — they enforce integrity by validating values at insert time and directly affect query performance through CPU cache usage and network transfer costs in distributed systems. This reference covers sizing choices for performance and highlights where MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle diverge on precision and datetime handling, which matters for keeping schemas portable across engines.
Build durable agents with Temporal and Lakebase
Durable agent workflows can now recover progress after worker failures, retry failed steps, and pause for human review by combining Temporal orchestration with Lakebase Postgres for live application state. Execution stays connected to governed data through Unity Catalog synced tables for policy reads and, with Lakebase Change Data Feed, by publishing operational changes back to Delta history tables.
The 40-year-old database rule agents just broke: How LTAP unifies OLTP and OLAP workloads
LTAP (Lake Transactional/Analytical Processing) resolves the decades-old row-versus-column tradeoff between OLTP and OLAP systems by unifying transactional and analytical workloads at the storage layer rather than the engine layer, succeeding where HTAP has historically stalled. This shift is driven by AI agents, which need near-real-time read and write access to live operational data at a speed and cost neither traditional pipelines nor HTAP architectures can deliver.
Achieving Extreme Efficiency through Specialized GPU Kernel Generation
Automated GPU kernel generation produced Qwen 3.5 122B kernels that are 1.8–5.2× faster than the top implementations available in vLLM. Achieving these efficiency gains requires pairing unconstrained agent exploration with a strict outer verification system to catch measurement bugs and validate real-world speedups.
Five ways marketers can use Genie One
Genie One enables marketing teams to translate governed data into real-time insights and uncover cross-channel performance trends without relying on manual reporting. By independently exploring customer and pipeline data, teams can accelerate strategy speed-to-market and maximize campaign ROI.
