Plaud, maker of the most popular AI notetaker on the market, moved its metadata layer from MySQL to TiDB after its split MySQL-metadata/S3-content architecture hit roughly 300 million rows, where sche…
Hybrid retrieval that combines full-text search and vector search gives AI agents better recall than embeddings alone, according to a technical guide on the two methods. The guide states that embeddin…
Plaid migrated its Amazon Aurora MySQL fleet to the distributed SQL database TiDB after an estimate put a major-version upgrade at six engineering months and tens of minutes of downtime, and its first…
TiDB Cloud Starter connects to Vercel serverless and edge functions over HTTPS via the TiDB Cloud serverless driver, eliminating the TCP connection pool that breaks traditional MySQL and Postgres data…
Production AI agents fail at memory because persistence is only one of five required capabilities — selection, compression, decay, and contamination prevention are where most systems break, according …
AI coding agent files — the cloned repos, dependency manifests, build and test output, logs, patches, and scratch notes an agent writes during a task — are lost when ephemeral sandboxes hit their dura…
AI coding assistants trained overwhelmingly on single-node MySQL and PostgreSQL code produce AI-generated database code that encodes single-node assumptions, creating silent correctness bugs when run …
Oracle's MySQL AI, announced in September 2025 for Enterprise Edition, adds a vector engine, generative AI over documents, AutoML, and natural language to SQL, but the most important architectural shi…
A serverless database scales compute automatically and bills for actual usage, not reserved capacity, making it a natural fit for AI workloads with bursty inference and idle dev cycles, according to a…
PingCAP's TiDB Cloud now supports Prisma ORM through the @tidbcloud/prisma-adapter, enabling serverless functions and edge runtimes to query TiDB over HTTPS instead of TCP, as detailed in a setup guid…
On July 24, Jensen Huang made his first post on X, a policy letter signed by 25 companies, doubling to 50 within a day, asking Washington not to restrict open weight AI models, with signatories includ…
Agentic AI architecture requires a database, not just a vector store, according to a blog post that outlines five layers—reasoning, tools, memory, state, and guardrails—and argues that vector search a…
A new guide from an unnamed source explains that AI applications require four persistence layers—memory, files, operational state, and retrieval data—and argues that serverless databases, which scale …
TiDB SCaiLE 2026, a single-day conference hosted by PingCAP at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA on October 15, 2026, will feature two tracks—AI-Native: Infinite Agents and Enterprise: …
PingCAP, the company behind the open source TiDB database, argues that open source data layers will win the AI future because AI makes application code cheap to rewrite while durable state remains cos…
At TiDB SCaiLE Europe 2026, Mattias Jonsson, Principal Software Engineer at TiDB, argued that agentic AI applications do not need a separate vector database, as distributed SQL databases like TiDB can…
A single TiDB cluster raised analytical agent confidence from 74% to roughly 93%, according to Bernard Kavanagh, Solutions Architect at TiDB, speaking at TiDB SCaiLE Europe 2026. An EV-charging platfo…
An EV-charging platform burned $50,000 in a single day of testing and projected $130,000 a month at scale due to agent loops on a warehouse, according to Bernard Kavanagh, Solutions Architect at TiDB.…
PingCAP argues that production AI agents need a database capable of controlled writes, deduplication, staleness management, and cross-type queries, not just read-optimized retrieval. The company says …
Novita Artifact Hosting now lets developers deploy AI-generated applications with a single SDK call, and adding a TiDB Cloud database requires only one parameter. The platform, which turns an AI codin…
