While vector databases still have many valid use cases, organizations including OpenAI are leaning on PostgreSQL to get things done.In a blog post on Thursday, OpenAI disclosed how it is using the open-source PostgreSQL database.OpenAI runs ChatGPT and its API platform for 800 million users on a single-primary PostgreSQL instance — not a distributed database, not a sharded cluster. One Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server handles all writes. Nearly 50 read replicas spread across multiple regions handle reads. The system processes millions of queries per second while maintaining low double-digit millisecond p99 latency and five-nines availability.The setup challenges conventional scaling wisdom and offers enterprise architects insight into what actually works at massive scale.The lesson here [...]
Many enterprises running PostgreSQL databases for their applications face the same expensive reality. When they need to analyze that operational data or feed it to AI models, they build ETL (Extract, [...]
Building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for AI agents often involves using multiple layers and technologies for structured data, vectors and graph information. In recent months it has al [...]
Enterprise data teams moving agentic AI into production are hitting a consistent failure point at the data tier. Agents built across a vector store, a relational database, a graph store and a lakehous [...]
Five years ago, Databricks coined the term 'data lakehouse' to describe a new type of data architecture that combines a data lake with a data warehouse. That term and data architecture are n [...]
The standard guidelines for building large language models (LLMs) optimize only for training costs and ignore inference costs. This poses a challenge for real-world applications that use inference-tim [...]
Microsoft and OpenAI on Monday announced a sweeping overhaul of the partnership that has defined the commercial AI era, dismantling key pillars of exclusivity and revenue-sharing that bound the two co [...]
Earlier today, OpenAI launched GPT-5.6-Cyber, a specialized model designed to perform advanced vulnerability research and exploit development for approved defenders — including categories of work th [...]
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Google Cloud AI Research have developed a framework that enables large language model (LLM) agents to organize their experiences into a m [...]
