No-code platform developer Creatio Inc. today released a new version that combines agentic, generative and prescriptive artificial intelligence capabilities in a single platform driven by natural-language prompts. The “Energy” release can be used to build packaged capabilities called “skills” that perform common workflow and customer relationship management tasks involving decisions and autonomous actions. Creatio said its new approach can help businesses realize productivity savings of up to 80% for some knowledge worker tasks by combining different types of AI functions. Agentic AI operates autonomously, makes decisions and takes actions to pursue specific goals with strategies based on context and feedback. Generative AI…

Dremio Corp., the developer of a data lakehouse platform based on the Apache Iceberg table format, today is throwing its support behind the Polaris data catalog that cloud data warehousing firm Snowflake Inc. released to open source in June. The move is an important third-party endorsement for Snowflake, battling rival Databricks Inc. to become the platform of choice for artificial intelligence development on top of the open-source Apache Iceberg file system. Dremio said it would also support Databricks’ rival Unity Catalog managed service, but its endorsement was less full-throated than for Snowflake. Over time, Dremio said it intends to adopt…

StarTree eyes observability market with Apache Pinot-based real-time engine – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIPaul Gillin, SiliconANGLE, StarTree eyes observability market with Apache Pinot-based real-time engine

StarTree Inc., a company that’s commercializing the open-source Apache Pinot real-time data analytics platform, is setting its sights on the market for observability tools, saying it’s a ripe target for disruption. Last week the company demonstrated how its StarTree Cloud, a managed Pinot service, can now be used as a time-series database compatible with the open-source Prometheus monitoring and alerting toolkit to drive real-time observability dashboards using the open-source Grafana visualization engine. StarTree said it can address the query and storage components of the observability stack at a much lower cost by using open-source technology. Observability is a discipline and…

DataPelago Inc. today unveiled what it calls a “universal data processing engine” that powers high-speed computing at massive scale by making better use of an organization’s underlying infrastructure. The three-year-old startup also announced $47 million in new funding. The company’s cloud-based software framework is independent of the operating system and leverages all available CPU, graphics processing units, floating point units and data processing units to apply to generative artificial intelligence and “data lakehouse” analytics across large volumes of unstructured data. The engine is based on two intelligent layers called the DataVM and the DataOS. Together they process data in the…

Onehouse’s vector embeddings support aims to cut the cost of AI training – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTOnehouse's vector embeddings support aims to cut the cost of AI training, Paul Gillin, SiliconANGLE

Onehouse Inc., a company that sells a data lakehouse based on Apache Hudi as a managed service, today said it has launched a vector embedding generator to automate embedding pipelines as a part of its cloud service. Vector embeddings are mathematical representations of objects, such as words and images, in a continuous space in which each point is defined by a vector or an ordered list of numbers that represents features of an object, coordinates in a space or complex data type. Embeddings are typically used in machine learning and natural language processing to capture objects’ semantic meaning or other…

Dremio says it has dramatically improved query performance on Iceberg data lakes – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIDremio says it has dramatically improved query performance on Iceberg data lakes, Paul Gillin, SiliconANGLE

Data lakehouse company Dremio Corp. today announced a set of advanced analytics performance capabilities that it says significantly speed query performance on Apache Iceberg tables while reducing the need for user intervention. The two major new features are Live Reflections and Result Set Caching. Dremio Reflections are a feature of the company’s data lake engine that accelerates query performance by creating optimized, precomputed data representations. They’re similar in concept to materialized views but are more flexible and integrated with Dremio’s architecture. As a result, they enable faster and more interactive querying of large datasets stored in data lakes without data…

Betamax blues: Hudi edging toward ‘also ran’ status in the data platform race – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIBetamax blues: Hudi edging toward 'also ran' status in the data platform race, Paul Gillin, SiliconANGLE

In announcing its Polaris Catalog last month, Snowflake Inc. Executive Vice President Christian Kleinerman said the product “extends Snowflake’s commitment to Apache Iceberg as the open standard of choice.” Statements like that raise the hackles of Apache Hudi adherents. They maintain their preferred open table format — whose name stands for Hadoop Upserts, Deletes and Incrementals — is superior to Iceberg and the open-source Delta Lake framework developed by Databricks Inc. But Hudi appears to be sliding toward “also ran” status in the data platform race as Iceberg surges. Developed at Uber Technologies Inc. and released to open source in…
