Oracle is now doing something no other database vendor (that i know off at least) is doing - it is directly integrating LLMs as an in-database feature.

->Oracle bakes LLMs and vector support directly into HeatWave GenAI database

There is a lot of complexity with post-quantum cryptography. An open source effort from VERISIGN introduces a novel approach that might well be a cornerstone of the internet's post-quantum future.

open source to the rescue (again). There has been a 'battle' brewing in the cloud data lake space in the last several years with multiple formats all trying to gain share ..and (potentially) lock users in. OneTable will change that.
