SwissTable, a high-performance open-addressing hash map originally developed by Google, is becoming more popular in the industry. First, Rust adopted it for its HashMap type. Then Go started using a custom version of SwissTable for its map type. Now, Valkey (a Redis fork) has

Introducing M²RNN: Non-Linear RNNs with Matrix-Valued States for Scalable Language Modeling We bring back non-linear recurrence to language modeling and show it's been held back by small state sizes, not by non-linearity itself. 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2603.14360 💻 Code:

In our recent ADRS blog post, we feature LEVI, a low-cost algorithmic discovery framework that makes ADRS cheaper and stronger by pairing lightweight models with frontier models.

Databases are arguably the most commonly used enterprise tool, and enterprises typically have many of them. Yet no popular AI agent benchmark actually tests how well agents can query, join, and make sense of data across different databases! So, we built DAB (Data Agent

This was a fun collaboration between UC Berkeley EPIC Lab, UC Berkeley EECS, and PromptQL Read our paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2603.20576 Check out the benchmark here: github.com/ucbepic/DataAg… Leaderboard here: ucbepic.github.io/DataAgentBench/

Worth reading. Nice work Jiaxiang Yu

Nice 👍 #database

90% of building fast applications is holding the database correctly. The other 10% is killing N+1s.

No amount of Postgres config can fix a slow disk. Benchmark results across several server + disk combinations for Pg 17 and Pg 18 (multiple configs). - Local disk (i7i NVMe) is unmatched. - io2 performs well, but if you know AWS, you know these are $$$$. - gp3 performs poorly

Interesting to see Gemma4 adopting a variant of our CLA architecture for saving memory for KV-cache. 🚀🚀🚀 CLA improves the Pareto frontier on accuracy vs KV-cache memory! Check out CLA: arxiv.org/abs/2405.12981 😃 Previously used by Character.AI as mentioned in this blog:

Main lesson: Always use the right tool for your workload, especially as you hit scale. #database

I have built and operated some of the biggest Paxos-based systems in the world, and strongly disagree with this statement. Paxos is well-understood, scales just the same as any protocol that solves the same problem, and is the foundation of the most reliable systems on earth.

I first tried to read this book in 2018 and couldn't make it through because I thought it was too hard. 8 years later it's the only book I recommend every developer reads, and I had the chance to review the 2nd edition. Join a study group, give it a read.
