MongoDB 8.0: Improving Performance, Avoiding Regressions

“MongoDB 8.0 is the most secure, durable, available and performant version of MongoDB yet: it’s 36% faster in read workloads and 32% faster in mixed read and write workloads than MongoDB 7.0 In addition to benefitting customers, MongoDB 8.0’s performance has also brought significant benefits to our own internal applications, as my colleague Jonathan Brill recently noted in his own blog post.”

Neo4J - Explore No-Code GraphRAG Agents in 10 Minutes on Your Own Data

“Neo4j Solutions Engineer Chris Booth walks you through the LLM Knowledge Graph Builder—a reference application that enables non-technical users to explore how their own data can power GraphRAG.”

Apple Machine Learning - Interpreting and Improving Optimal Control Problems With Directional Corrections

“Many robotics tasks, such as path planning or trajectory optimization, are formulated as optimal control problems (OCPs). The key to obtaining high performance lies in the design of the OCP's objective function. In practice, the objective function consists of a set of individual components that must be carefully modeled and traded off such that the OCP has the desired solution.”

Microsoft Fabric - Hints in Fabric Data Warehouse

“Hints are optional keywords that you can add to your SQL statements to provide additional information or instructions to the query optimizer. Hints can help you improve the performance, scalability, or consistency of your queries by overriding the default behavior of the query optimizer. For example, you can use hints to specify the join type or the join order for the query.”
