Analytics on Live Data. No Pipeline. Just Postgres.

Most teams treat analytics as a separate problem. As data grows, they add a warehouse, a pipeline, a sync job. By the time data reaches their dashboard, it's already stale.

TimescaleDB takes a different approach: extend Postgres instead of splitting away from it.

Your transactions and your analytics run on the same database, on live data, with no pipeline in between.

Hypertables partition time-series data automatically as volume grows. Hypercore compression cuts storage by up to 95%. Continuous aggregates pre-compute rollups so dashboards stay fast without re-querying everything.

CERN runs it on Postgres to handle sensor data from the Large Hadron Collider.

No second database. No migration. Same Postgres you already know.

Good morning ☀️, leader of the next generation.

We will talk about agents. AI agents.

They will change the way how we do business, how we interract and even how we do our everyday lives.

Agents will build business.

Agents will organize your day.

Agents will fill up your fridge.

I will let that sit in here for a while, so we can imagine and build the future together one agent at a time...

Reflection AI signs $6.3B SpaceX compute deal to power open-source AI models.

SpaceX inks compute deal with Reflection AI, an open source AI lab

Open-source AI startup Reflection AI has struck a major compute deal with SpaceX, following similar agreements the space and technology giant previously made with Anthropic and Google.

Starting July 1, 2026, Reflection AI will pay $150 million per month for access to Nvidia's latest GB300 AI chips and supporting hardware housed at SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center near Memphis, Tennessee. The contract runs through 2029, making it worth up to $6.3 billion in total. Both parties retain the option to exit the agreement with 90 days' notice after an initial three-month period.

While significant, the deal is smaller in scale than SpaceX's existing arrangements with Anthropic and Google, which run at $1.25 billion and $920 million per month respectively. Like those contracts, Elon Musk has noted that the agreements can be terminated at any time, despite their multi-year terms on paper.

For Reflection AI, this marks its first compute deal and a major milestone in its push to establish itself as a credible open-source alternative to closed AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI. The company develops open-weight AI models, meaning the trained parameters of its models are made publicly available for anyone to use, inspect, or build upon.

The timing is notable. The U.S. government recently banned Anthropic's closed AI models, Fable and Mythos, which has drawn renewed attention to the risks of relying solely on proprietary AI systems. Reflection AI sees this as a validation of its open-weight approach, arguing that transparency and accessibility are critical to a healthy and resilient AI ecosystem.

"Recent events highlight how important open source is to the AI ecosystem, with more nations and enterprises recognizing the risks and costs associated with exclusively depending on closed models," a Reflection AI spokesperson said. "Our deal with SpaceXAI signals Reflection's strategic importance within the frontier AI ecosystem, and more compute means more runway to build the world's best open models at scale."

Reflection AI was founded in 2024 by two former Google DeepMind researchers and describes the agreement as one of the largest open AI infrastructure commitments announced to date. The company believes that access to this level of compute will significantly accelerate its ability to train and release frontier-grade open models.

The Colossus 2 data center at the heart of the deal has an interesting history. It was originally built by xAI, Elon Musk's AI venture, which has since been folded into SpaceX. As xAI's internal AI ambitions have slowed, SpaceX has pivoted to monetizing its substantial chip infrastructure by leasing capacity to some of the world's leading AI organizations.

The move positions SpaceX as a major player in AI infrastructure, effectively becoming a go-to compute provider for top-tier AI labs across the ideological spectrum — from closed, safety-focused outfits like Anthropic to open-source advocates like Reflection AI.

Groq raises $650M and pivots after Nvidia licensed its IP and poached leadership.

AI chipmaker Groq confirms $650M raise, re-staffs after Nvidia's $20B not-acqui-hire deal

AI chipmaker Groq has confirmed a $650 million funding round led by Disruptive and Infinitum, roughly six months after Nvidia licensed its LPU technology and hired away founder Jonathan Ross and other key executives.

With Nvidia now commercializing the IP, Groq has pivoted to its neocloud business, operating 13 data centers globally and serving over five million developers. New leadership has been brought in, including a new COO, CTO, and CPO. Previously valued at $6.9 billion, Groq is betting its inference cloud can stay competitive in a fast-growing but increasingly crowded market.

Google DeepMind bets $75M on AI's future in Hollywood with A24 deal

Google DeepMind invests $75M in A24 to build AI tools for filmmakers.

Google DeepMind has announced a landmark $75 million investment into acclaimed indie film studio A24, marking what the tech giant is calling a "first-of-its-kind" partnership between a leading AI research company and a major Hollywood studio. A24, known for critically praised films like "Everything Everywhere All At Once," "Marty Supreme," and the recent blockbuster "Backrooms," will collaborate with Google DeepMind to develop AI-powered tools designed specifically for the filmmaking process.

At the heart of the deal is a commitment to keeping artists in the driver's seat. Google DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis emphasized that the partnership is built around direct collaboration with creatives. "We believe the best way to develop tools that empower artists is to work directly with them," Hassabis said in a press release. "By collaborating with filmmakers and industry leaders like A24 from the beginning, we can build new AI features to support artists in authentic, meaningful storytelling that helps enable their creative vision."

In return for the investment, Google DeepMind will receive feedback and guidance from working artists, giving the company real-world insight into how AI tools can best serve the creative community. A24 has recently partnered with high-profile talents including Timothée Chalamet and Anne Hathaway, signaling that the studio's projects will serve as a meaningful testing ground for these emerging technologies.

While AI in Hollywood remains a controversial topic, this deal is far from an isolated move. Netflix made waves earlier this year by acquiring Ben Affleck's production technology company InterPositive, which specializes in AI tools for filmmakers. Amazon's MGM Studios also launched a dedicated AI unit last year, focused on developing solutions for both film and television production. Google DeepMind's investment in A24 further signals that the integration of AI into entertainment is accelerating — and that major players are racing to shape what that future looks like.
