Building agents using streaming SQL queries

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-09 03:38:15

LLMs are general-purpose models created from huge bodies of publicly available datasets. However, many, if not most, AI Agents for enterprise use cases require access to context such as internal data and resources, tools and services. How can this be implemented when building an agentic system using Flink SQL? First, let’s consider the case of structured data, for instance details about a given customer stored in an external database. SQL is a natural fit for accessing that kind of data: Flink

When the Trump Organization announced its new Trump Mobile cell service and gold colored T1 phone -- complete with an American flag on the back -- it raised a lot of questions. While most of them focused on the numerous mistakes and typos on the Trump Mobile site -- some of which have been fixed -- other errors and questionable policies, like calling RAM storage, not identifying the handset's processor or the fact that you can't get a refund for the T1 phone raised several flags for us.

Demystifying Multi-Modal AI

Artificial Intelligence has come a long way in understanding language, recognizing images, and interpreting sound—but what happens when it can do all of that at once? That’s where Multi-Modal AI steps in: a new frontier where machines learn to process and combine information from different types of input—like text, images, audio, and video—just as humans do.

Israel-Tied Predatory Sparrow Hackers Are Waging Cyberwar on Iran’s Financial System

What happens when you feed AI nothing

If you stumbled across Terence Broad’s AI-generated artwork (un)stable equilibrium on YouTube, you might assume he’d trained a model on the works of the painter Mark Rothko — the earlier, lighter pieces, before his vision became darker and suffused with doom. Like early-period Rothko, Broad’s AI-generated images consist of simple fields of pure color, but they’re morphing, continuously changing form and hue. But Broad didn’t train his AI on Rothko; he didn’t train it on any data at all. By hack
