Google Cloud announced a wave of new AI-native capabilities designed to help data scientists and developers build intelligent, autonomous agents. The new tools transform the role of a data scientist from an analyst into an “agentic architect” by unifying the development environment and making it easier for AI to understand and act on real-world data. Tools in the new offering include:

  • A Unified, Intelligent Notebook: To eliminate the friction of constant context-switching, the data science environment is now unified within a single, intelligent notebook.
  • Real-Time, “State-Aware” Agents: Enable agents to sense and respond to live event streams by asking complex, time-based questions directly in SQL.
  • Automated AI for Unstructured Data: Radically simplify building AI applications on unstructured data by removing the need for complex data pipelines.
  • Data Analytics in the Command Line: Integrate data tasks directly into the developer’s primary interface—the terminal—to avoid switching to a separate UI.

OpenAI and NVIDIA announced a letter of intent for a strategic partnership to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems for OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure to train and run its next generation of models on the path to deploying superintelligence. To support this deployment, including data center and power capacity, NVIDIA intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as the new NVIDIA systems are deployed. The first phase is targeted to come online in the second half of 2026 using the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform.

Real-time analytics news in brief

Snowflake, in partnership with industry partners and ecosystem vendors, including Salesforce, BlackRock, dbt Labs, and RelationalAI, announced a commitment to lead the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI), a new open-source initiative. The initiative addresses the issue of fragmented data semantics across tools and platforms by introducing a common, vendor-neutral semantic model specification that standardizes how semantic metadata is defined and shared.

Airbyte announced Airbyte Enterprise Flex, providing customers with data sovereignty and full control over their data with no compromise, enabling accurate and secure data for AI and analytics. The solution enables deployment, within days, in an on-premises data center, cloud, multi-cloud, or hybrid cloud. Flex breaks down data silos while preserving the integrity of sensitive data and compliance with regulations, all while offering a lower total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) with less operational overhead.

Algolia unveiled Algolia Agent Studio. The solution places its retrieval engine (comprising fast hybrid, vector search, and keyword search, enriched with rules and personalization) at the center of the agent’s workflow. This gives teams retrieval they can trust, clarity to observe and debug, and an elegant path from prototype to production.

CData Software announced Connect AI, a managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform that integrates AI assistants, agent orchestration platforms, AI workflow automation, and embedded AI applications with more than 300 enterprise data sources. With governed, in-place access to enterprise data, Connect AI preserves data semantics and relationships, giving AI a complete understanding of the context.

EnterpriseDB (EDB) announced key contributions to PostgreSQL 18. The new release includes more than 200 new features that make it easier for organizations to run secure, high-performance, and portable applications across hybrid environments. EDB’s contributions to PostgreSQL include open standards and security, optimizer performance enhancements, dynamic extension loading, and support for new index types.

FICO announced a new domain-specific FICO Foundation Model for Financial Services (FICO FFM) product offering, consisting of FICO Focused Language Model for Financial Services (FICO FLM) and FICO Focused Sequence Model for Financial Services(FICO FSM), purpose-built to reduce hallucinations and achieve precise accuracy over conventional Generative AI (GenAI) models. 

Lenovo announced new IT solutions tailored to help small and medium businesses easily deploy, scale, and leverage modern IT in the era of AI. Featuring guided setup and built-in security, the solutions help businesses quickly modernize outdated infrastructure to prepare for today’s AI-powered workplace while delivering insights to anywhere that business happens.  

MachineQ, a Comcast Company, announced the launch of a new AI-driven “smart summary” feature for MQinsights, the company’s software application for visualizing and managing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. The feature leverages AI to translate millions of IoT data points into clear, actionable insights for operations and procurement teams, compressing days of analysis and synthesis work down to a matter of seconds.

MathCo announced the launch of its Systemic AI Programmatic Suite of Solutions, designed to help enterprises move beyond siloed AI pilots and activate enterprise-wide intelligence for tangible business impact. This approach is powered by NucliOS Studio, MathCo’s enterprise-grade, context-aware decision intelligence platform.

Pegasystems announced the general availability of Pega Infinity ’25, an agentic enterprise transformation platform that delivers trustworthy, predictable AI agents at scale. The solution builds on Pega’s architecture to provide the right type of AI at the right time. This smarter, more strategic approach enables enterprises to unleash the power of agents without sacrificing reliability.

Precisely announced new enhancements to the Precisely Data Integrity Suite, designed to further streamline and advance data quality across the enterprise. The latest release introduces AI-driven features that enable organizations to operationalize high-quality, AI-ready data even more quickly and intelligently.

Proofpoint announced four major innovations designed to secure the agentic workspace, where people and AI agents collaborate side by side. Proofpoint’s new collaboration and data security capabilities address the foundational risks of the agentic workspace by solving four critical challenges: protecting AI assistants from targeted attacks; ensuring the right controls to stop data loss by people and agents; governing the actions of GenAI and AI Agents; and using AI agents themselves to automate collaboration and data security for security professionals. 

RapidFire AI announced the open‑source release of its “rapid experimentation” engine designed to dramatically speed up and simplify the customization of large language models (LLMs) through fine-tuning and post-training. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, RapidFire AI lets users launch and compare many fine-tuning/post-training configs at once on a single GPU or across multiple GPUs spanning data, model/adapter choices, trainer hyperparameters, and reward functions.

SnapLogic announced expanded support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP support in SnapLogic allows pipelines and APIs managed through SnapLogic APIM 3.0 to function as MCP servers, ready to be discovered and consumed by AI agents. Enterprises can now deploy and manage these MCP servers directly within SnapLogic, apply authentication controls, and gain visibility into activity through built-in observability.

Teradata announced the launch of AgentBuilder, a suite of capabilities designed to accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous, contextually intelligent AI agents. Leveraging open-source frameworks and powered by the Teradata AI and knowledge platform, AgentBuilder gives teams the ability to quickly design, operationalize, and manage multi-agent systems.
