You've never routed like this before. @OpenRouter is bringing Jev to all of your LLM calls, so your agentic workflows never have to waste a token again. As always, faster, cheaper, more intelligent. Go build the future.
Introducing typesafe/jev-router: a cache-aware model router powered by Jev and @typesafeai The Jev Router picks the best model and reasoning effort for each request, balancing quality, speed, and cost. Here's how it works 👇🏻

And then there’s the OpenClaw bombshell: Microsoft Autopilot is built on OpenClaw. This strongly suggests something much bigger about Microsoft’s agent strategy: Microsoft is just not that invested in its own agent runtime. It actually wants to own the CONTROL PLANE around it. So, this means OpenClaw become the open substrate. They help make it enterprise-grade. Then push policy, security, Windows integration and reliability upstream. Then they can differentiate the combined iffeing as Autopilot, over time, with Entra identity, M365 context, Graph, Azure compute, governance, distribution, and (the key ti unlocking revenue) ultimately the meter. It’s essentially the Linux/Azure playbook applied to agents: Commoditize the layer underneath you, then become the best place to run it. If OpenClaw becomes something like the “Linux of agents,” Microsoft doesn’t need a proprietary agent stack to win. It needs to become the enterprise operating environment for ALL agents. That is a much bigger, and in my opinion better, ambition than just Copilot.
Today Microsoft announced Autopilot, an always on agent built on OpenClaw The best part of this collaboration is how much @OmarShahine and others at Microsoft have contributed BACK to OpenClaw Read all about the contributions Omar and his team made here: openclaw.ai/blog/microsoft-a…

I like plan mode. I want and need to see what the direction could be to make adjustments before actual coding occurs
we’re thinking of killing plan mode and using the shift+tab hotkey to adjust effort levels I don’t think the models need plan mode anymore, but if you’re a plan mode diehard would love to get your feedback on why

Wait what?? You did this all with just three.js? (not Blender or..?)
Opus 5.5 is next level. I’m genuinely impressed by the three.js details. I generated a playable boat scene through Japanese landscapes with dynamic weather, day and night lighting, realistic textures and 3D characters. Live site: valley.mengto.here.now The water reflections, physics, scenery and architecture are insane. I could look at this all day.

Following in Google's footsteps - remember BigQuery Omni? same idea.
AWS has launched "CloudWatch Omni," whose premier feature is (and I am not making this up) that it's available outside of the @awscloud console.

Building a database for machines means rethinking the architecture from the ground up. @VentureBeat's @TechJournalist sat down with our CEO @MKardashov to take a closer look at KeewanoDB & why the way machines consume and reason over data calls for a new DB. Read his take ↓
It's not graph, time-series or JSON but kinda sort feels them - @KeewanoX is a new type of database (apparently) for the agentic AI era. venturebeat.com/data/every-u… via @VentureBeat

rip elastic. i know that using tuple ids in the text map(removes one additional hop) is not the only optimization that led to such fantastic results, but just wondering why no one else made this, it looks obvious to use a direct pointer to the data on disk rather than create another map table. congrats to the team, i'll be using this for sure!
Today we introduce TIN: a powerful and reliable full-text search extension for Postgres. TIN works with complicated WHERE clauses, replication, backups, and maintains correct transaction visibility. It's also mind-blowingly fast.

Why AI companies are really pumping the brakes on their models computerworld.com/article/42… via @ComputerWorld & @sjvn #AI's big dogs say it's because frontier AI is advancing faster than they can test and secure it. True, but safety isn't their main motivation. Follow the money.

Next, I asked Jev to estimate how many rows a given filter would match. Postgres would then use this data to plan the query. This ended up working pretty well. The queries that improved the most were queries where outside context gave a lot of information about how to execute the query. When querying the IMDB data, Postgres estimated 1 in 100,000 movies are sequels. Jev was much more accurate and estimated 1 in 100 were

I've just burned through $100 of credit on @AnthropicAI Fable 5.1 for a gauntlet game dev effortlessly and I'm only about 1/10th of the way through... Yeah it's cheaper than building a full games studio - and paying ppl - but still...

Mark my words: Confidential inference is going to become the vital bridge between enterprise AI demand + the ability of the hyperscalers to provide it in a way that makes public cloud AI services trustable, and therefore consumable. Lots of issues to work out, but this is the way.
10 years ago I first wrote about Confidential Computing - a way to have hardware attestation to verify integrity and privacy. NOw @cohere is bringing the concept to AI in a form of confidential inference that is badly needed in an era where (some) labs use customer data to train their own stuff. venturebeat.com/data/coheres… via @VentureBeat

This is typical for PostgreSQL though.. stability is not a work in progress it’s a release goal
Postgres 19 was shaping up to be one of the biggest feature releases in years, now many of those features are reverted. A look at whats going on with Postgres 19: snowflake.com/en/blog/engine…

The Moon’s got a big new crater! 🕳️ Spotted by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the McGetchin crater formed when a rock as big as a six-story building crashed into the Moon. It’s 141 feet deep and wider than the length of two football fields.🪨💥🌕 go.nasa.gov/3TzHqUf

The real genius of the AI business model was in the use of “token” as the unit of billing. How much work does a token do? It depends. How many tokens will this project take? All of them. Tokens are an ideal unit of metered billing, because they have no definite properties.
