Announcing ClickHouse Managed Postgres on Google Cloud
ClickHouse Managed Postgres is entering Private Preview on Google Cloud, extending the fully managed, NVMe-backed Postgres service previously launched on AWS. The GCP deployment targets teams wanting Postgres for OLTP and ClickHouse for OLAP in one cloud, avoiding cross-cloud replication, egress costs, and separate networking and compliance management. It uses GCP Local SSD storage, native change data capture through ClickPipes, in-region networking, and pg_clickhouse, which pushes filters, joins, and aggregations to ClickHouse behind a single Postgres connection. Preview capabilities include zonal high availability with two standbys and quorum replication, point-in-time recovery, read replicas, PgBouncer, more than 90 Postgres extensions, monitoring, Query Insights, scheduled upgrades, and infrastructure-as-code support through OpenAPI, Terraform, and clickhousectl. Access is invitation-only via a waitlist, with availability in every GCP region where ClickHouse Cloud runs and hands-on migration support from Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, RDS, Aurora, Neon, or self-managed Postgres.
Announcing ‘The 2026 AI Sentiment Report’: How end users feel about AI Agents
The 2026 AI Sentiment Report examines how end users feel about AI Agents in customer service and other uses such as shopping. Overall sentiment improved: 49% reported positive experiences, up nine percentage points from 2025, and that figure rose to 74% after respondents watched an Agent resolve a real query. Trust remains conditional, with 54% willing to trust AI with simple or routine issues but not complex ones involving discretion, privacy, continuity, accountability, or judgment. The research identifies easy escalation to a human and upfront disclosure that users are interacting with AI as the two leading ways to increase comfort, while trust also varies by channel, with chat strongest and social weakest. It concludes that businesses can treat trust as a design problem, including reassuring customers that shopping assistants serve their interests rather than merely the company’s financial goals.

IBM releases SOTA Granite Time Series PatchTST-FM-r2 model with commercial-friendly license
IBM has released Granite Time Series PatchTST-FM-r2, a roughly 385-million-parameter foundation model for zero-shot forecasting across demand, prices, energy loads, traffic, telemetry, and other time series. The model uses conformer blocks combining multi-head self-attention with temporal convolution, 50% overlapping patches with Hamming-window weighting, overlap-and-add forecasting, contexts up to 8,192 steps, and a 99-quantile prediction head for probabilistic outputs and imputation support. On GIFT-Eval, it ranks second for both CRPS and MASE among replicable zero-shot models as of September 8, 2026, and first in that category among permissively licensed models; including pretrained models, it ranks third for CRPS and fourth for MASE. IBM provides open weights, architecture, inference code, and reproducibility code under Apache 2.0 and OpenMDW 1.0. The release also describes Python use and streaming integration through Apache Flink on Confluent Cloud.
Get Gemini 3.8 Flash With 75% Off
Google’s Gemini 3.8 Flash is now available in Junie’s IDE plugin and Junie CLI, accompanied by a limited-time 75% introductory discount. The model targets long, multi-step engineering tasks: it spends more tokens exploring directories, retrying failed code, writing bug-reproduction scripts, running tests through tool calls, and checking changes before completion. Google’s DeepSWE v1.1 testing is described as showing 3.8 Flash outperforming most larger frontier models at significantly lower cost, although the source does not provide specific scores. Gemini 3.7 Flash remains available for minor fixes and small refactorings, where its lower per-token cost may be preferable, while 3.8 Flash can be selected from the model picker without setup or a waitlist.
Introducing Consort: Test-driven development on a branching database
Consort is introduced as an open-source agentic development framework for test-driven development on branching Lakebase Postgres databases. It addresses the limitations of mocks, shared staging databases, and risky schema-change ceremonies by bringing integration testing into the inner loop. Its build lane runs red/green/refactor cycles against isolated copy-on-write branches of real data, while versioned migrations keep code and schema changes together and pull-request checks test migrations against fresh branches. Consort organizes work through role-based agents and a deterministic conductor, preserving feature artifacts in dedicated directories and supplying scoped context packages. A VS Code plugin pairs Git and Lakebase branches, while an observability dashboard exposes agent turns and human approval gates; the project is community-supported rather than a bundled platform feature with an SLA.

YouTrack announces live webinars for teams considering migration from Atlassian after Atlassian’s stated discontinuation of Data Center sales and support. The worldwide English-language session is scheduled for September 30, 2026, at 2:00 pm CET on YouTube, alongside a Japanese Zoom session and a Russian-language regional session hosted by Noventiq on October 28. The agenda covers migrating projects, users, and data from Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management, with a live demo, customer stories, pricing, licensing, deployment options, user packs, and partner support. It is aimed at administrators, project managers, and team leads, and presents YouTrack as a place to combine project management, documentation, and customer support. The Japan session additionally covers workflow automation and connecting AI agents through MCP, while registration for the Asia and Caucasus session is not yet open.
Supabase is now available in Gemini Enterprise
Supabase is now available as a prebuilt connector in Google Cloud Gemini Enterprise, allowing teams to query and take action on Supabase projects through natural-language prompts. After an organization-level connection, Gemini Enterprise calls the connector for live answers, does not store or index Supabase data, and can combine results with connected tools such as GitHub, Linear, Notion, Slack, and Salesforce. The integration supports questions about tables, database metrics, and table structure, while exposed tools are marked read-only or destructive. Business users connect through the connector menu, whereas Standard, Plus, and Frontline administrators use a client ID and secret in the admin console; the connector is available across all editions.
Announcing ADK for Kotlin 1.0: Building Production-Ready AI Agents in Kotlin, Android, and Beyond
ADK for Kotlin 1.0 is announced as a general availability release for building AI agents with Kotlin across Android, JVM server applications, and Java-integrated systems. The release targets a production-ready toolkit while preserving an idiomatic, lightweight, composable approach, and it reaches feature parity with ADK 1.0 Core, including hierarchical agents, context compaction, human-in-the-loop confirmation, resumable sessions, annotated tools, and Java interoperability. A Kotlin Multiplatform core stays agnostic to model backends, session providers, and memory systems, while Android extensions support LiteRT-LM, ML Kit (beta), Firebase AI Logic, Room, AppSearch, and file artifacts. The database incident example combines compile-time KSP-generated function schemas, suspend-capable @Tool functions, and dynamically loaded SKILL.md playbooks with progressive disclosure. The release provides 1.0.0 dependencies, documentation, a repository, and sample applications.
Introducing chdb Postgres extension: High-performance imports from cloud storage
The new chdb Postgres extension uses the chDB library, an in-process ClickHouse engine, to import and export data between Postgres and files on cloud storage. In benchmarks using the one-million-row NYC Taxi dataset, chdb ran on four-vCPU, 32-GB ClickHouse Managed Postgres instances and showed the most consistent performance; pg_duckdb and pg_lake took about two to three times longer for CSV, JSON, and Parquet, while aws_s3 supported fewer formats. Its chdb_query() function executes chDB queries, while chdb_hook integrates with COPY for AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, local files, and HTTP URLs, with wildcard expansion for multiple files. The extension launches a separate helper application on demand and exchanges ClickHouse Native results through file descriptors, limiting resource use and isolating the PostgreSQL cluster.

Automatic Key Exchange: faster, post-quantum secure origin handshakes for 45 billion daily connections (and counting)
Cloudflare’s Automatic Key Exchange addresses extra TLS 1.3 handshake latency and the difficulty of enabling post-quantum origin connections without manual configuration. Cloudflare previously sent an X25519 keyshare as its first guess; origins preferring another group returned a HelloRetryRequest, while sending X25519MLKEM768 indiscriminately risked oversized, split ClientHello messages and legacy compatibility failures. The system reuses Automatic SSL/TLS scanning to run lightweight handshakes for each supported group, map every origin’s capabilities and preferences, and tailor the initial keyshare, preferring X25519MLKEM768 when supported. During rollout, HelloRetryRequests dropped from roughly 52% to 3.7%, cutting more than 150 ms from p90 handshake latency, while hundreds of thousands of domains gained post-quantum origin connections without configuration. Cloudflare says it plans to extend scanning to post-quantum authentication, including ML-DSA certificates and future Merkle Tree Certificates.
Introducing CUDA Rust: Two Tracks for Writing GPU Kernels
NVIDIA’s CUDA Rust effort targets the GPU-kernel gap in Rust-based systems, where host code can be Rust but kernels often require another language. It presents two tracks: cuda-oxide compiles #[kernel] functions through Rust MIR, Pliron, and LLVM IR to PTX for SIMT programming, while cutile-rs expresses computations as tiles and JIT-compiles embedded ASTs through CUDA Tile IR. The SIMT example uses DisjointSlice, typed thread indices, and launch contracts to constrain per-thread output access and validate launch configuration; Tile leaves thread mapping and shared-memory management to its compiler. The post recommends starting with Tile because the compiler decides tile mapping per architecture, and using SIMT when explicit thread or memory control is needed. Both projects are early-stage, with cuda-oxide in early alpha and cutile-rs further along but still incomplete and subject to API changes.
TypeScript 7 in WebStorm: Faster Coding Assistance for Angular and React, No Migration Required
WebStorm 2026.2 introduces stable TypeScript 7 support for React and Angular projects, while teams can retain older TypeScript versions when infrastructure constraints require them. TypeScript 7 replaces the Node.js-based language service with a Go-based engine intended to provide equivalent or better coding assistance with less work. WebStorm integrates the engine natively rather than through its existing plugin layer, with the largest gains expected in larger codebases. For Angular, its Kotlin-based template transpiler and adapted Volar source-mapping solution translate requests between original and generated code, enabling inline template assistance; on Kibana, project load time fell from about 12 seconds to 3 seconds. React projects can select TypeScript 7 in preferences and use the Go-based engine, while Vue support remains under development.
Audit Your Auth0 Tenant with Auth0 Agent Skills
Auth0 Agent Skills addresses the gap between generic AI coding agents and a tenant’s live Auth0 configuration, plan entitlements, and deployed application settings. Its Auth0 HealthCheck skill uses Auth0 CheckMate to scan security and configuration hygiene, assess capability and plan fit, and produce confidence-weighted scores, prioritized findings, reports, and upgrade guidance. Using the Auth0 CLI, the skill authenticates locally, creates or reuses a narrowly scoped CheckMate machine-to-machine application, and queries the Management API from the developer’s environment. Remediation follows a developer-in-control flow: the skill fetches current settings, previews the proposed tenant-specific change and CLI command, requests explicit approval, then applies and verifies approved updates. The collection also provides framework quickstarts, B2B and B2C architecture guidance, debugging help, and configuration automation through Auth0 CLI, Terraform providers, and Vercel-native integrations.
Kotlin 2.4.20 Released
Kotlin 2.4.20 is released with updates spanning the standard library, Kotlin/Native, Kotlin/Wasm, Kotlin/JS, Gradle, build tools, and the compiler. The standard library adds coroutine stack trace recovery, collection equality and uniqueness checks, and new kotlin.test assertion overloads. Kotlin/Native gains Swift export features, improved incremental compilation, and generated Package.swift files, while Kotlin/Wasm adds Wasmtime support in the Kotlin Gradle plugin and changes to require() handling in @JsFun declarations. Kotlin/JS introduces a browser-testing DSL, suspend-lambda exports as async functions, and improved data-class exportability. The release also supports Gradle 9.7.0, adds Build tools API targets, and provides the kotlinr runner command and a separate native image; it is available through updated IDEs, build scripts, or the command-line compiler.
