PingCAP argues that Databricks' newly introduced LTAP architecture is not a breakthrough but a validation of the HTAP architecture that TiDB has provided for years. The company states that AI agents, …
PingCAP CEO Siddon Tang argues that choosing a database for scale is a ten-year decision that caps a company's growth potential, and that as AI agents become primary users, infrastructure choices refl…
TiDB completed a 45-day white-box security assessment by NCC Group, which found zero critical, high, or medium severity issues across 20 repositories. All eight findings were rated Low, covering defau…
A fintech engineering team built an AI agent platform using five separate data systems, leading to consistency bugs that caused a double-spend under load. The author argues that fintech teams operatio…
PingCAP's research team introduced TINE, a system that binds every AI agent iteration to a Git commit, a TiDB branch, and a sandbox runtime to solve schema drift, irreproducible state, and rollback ga…
A wave of large software companies in 2026 are cutting tens of thousands of roles and restructuring, driven by the need to consolidate data systems for AI agents. Conway's Law is operating in reverse:…

AI agents that remember user preferences but forget their own prior actions appear unintelligent due to state failures, not model limitations, according to engineers who shipped a memory layer in prod…
A user's RAG-powered customer-support agent incorrectly approved a laptop return because it retrieved a 2023 return policy document instead of the current 14-day policy, despite the query being semant…
Production agents require durable memory systems that support persistence, updates, expiration, and deletion across sessions, not just context windows that carry information into single model calls. A…
