To avoid this scenario where agents wipe everything out permanently, just branch your database, it's super easy to do on Neon Lakebase:

An extremely important functionality for agents is to simply extract fields out of PDFs. This turns out to be harder than people think because LLMs are primarily trained on predicting the next tokens. This leads them to "autocorrect" things that they shouldn't autocorrect. We launched an AI Extract capability that just excels at doing just this task with very high accuracy (95% vs 87% for others) and extremely low cost. Check out this blog on how we did it. The function can of course be called directly from SQL and be used throughout the platform.

Introducing Smart Routing in Unity AI Gateway.
Stop overpaying for AI. Smart Routing matches each coding task to the right model and harness based on what the task needs, so higher-cost models can differentiate on intelligence while lower-cost models differentiate on cost and performance.
Match frontier quality and cut task costs by 30%+.

Excited to share that we've acquired ElectricSQL, the team behind PGlite. Agents need super fast Postgres and this team built an amazing WASM (WebAssembly) implementation of postgres that runs in your browser, but can sync back with Postgres instances asynchronously. Exactly what blazing fast AI agents today need. Excited to supercharge our 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬 offering with these capabilities.

@stanzaselvaggia Magari me lo sono perso: ma un post in cui si parla della sospensione del servizio di ATAC durante il giorno di Natale? Col boom del turismo a Roma, ATAC che fa? Ferma il servizio fino alle 16,30.
Poverini, già lavorano tanto che non li facciamo stare a casa per il pranzo?
