    Declare and optimize with UNIQUE constraints on Databricks

    Databricks introduces UNIQUE constraints in Public Preview for Unity Catalog Delta tables in Databricks SQL and Runtime 18.2+, allowing tables to record multiple uniqueness guarantees beyond a single non-nullable primary key, with nullable columns and foreign key references supported. Constraints are informational and unenforced by default; after validation, marking them RELY lets the query optimizer eliminate eligible joins and DISTINCT aggregations, with benchmarks showing 7.9x and 12.0x speedups on TPC-DS SF10000.

    Ukraine’s drone strikes spur hasty Russian plans for underground data centers

    Ukrainian drone strikes have damaged Russian data centers housing AI supercomputers and disrupted cloud services, prompting Russian tech companies to scramble to harden and hide facilities underground. The Kremlin is requiring data center owners to reserve computing capacity for emergency state needs and has authorized possible use of foreign data centers. State-owned telecom Rostelecom has raised moving some data centers underground in talks with Norilsk, according to Vedomosti, and a regional governor proposed building data centers in open-pit coal mines with parks above as camouflage.

    Revolut swaps Claude for GLM open-weight model, cutting AI coding bill by 90%

    Revolut has moved its roughly 2,000 software engineers off Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex as default coding tools onto GLM, an open-weight model from Chinese lab Z.ai that Revolut hosts itself, bringing its bill to about a tenth of what it paid Anthropic and OpenAI. David Abitbol, who runs AI operations and infrastructure at Revolut, said the company serves GLM from about 56 Nvidia B200 GPUs at a blended cost of around $0.30 per million tokens, and reported roughly 60% shorter coding time and 70% shorter lead time in a sample of about 2,000 engineers, though the comparison does not isolate the model change from other causes. Abitbol said the 90% saving excludes cloud, staff and monitoring costs and depended on heavy tuning, with out-of-the-box inference "terrible" until time to first token fell from about 14 seconds to 1.7 seconds on the same GPUs.

    Why it matters: It shows a major European fintech running a self-hosted Chinese open-weight model as its engineering default, with concrete cost and latency figures and caveats worth noting.

    Elon Is Doing It Again: SpaceX Will Be The World’s Biggest AI Cloud

    SemiAnalysis reports that SpaceX now has 3.6GW of datacenter capacity under construction across multiple sites and has raised its 2027 estimate to roughly 13GW, which would exceed all of Google's datacenter capacity built from 1999 to 2026. The report says SpaceX may be the world's fastest datacenter builder, citing Colossus 2 build times of 91 days for 210MW and a planned ~4-month greenfield build at a Mississippi site, plus a datacenter likely planned at the TeraFab chip fab site in Texas. It also tracks over 8GW of likely behind-the-meter power, a ~6GWh BESS deployment at Colossus 2, and a 500kV substation connecting Macrohard (700MW) and MiniHard (450MW) to TVA service.

    Claude Platform now supports native OpenTelemetry observability in Databricks MLflow

    Databricks MLflow is now a supported destination for native OpenTelemetry export from the Claude Platform, letting developers using the Anthropic SDKs, the Messages API and Managed Agents send traces to Databricks for debugging and evaluation. Spans are received through Zerobus Ingest and stored in Unity Catalog tables linked to an MLflow experiment, where they can be inspected alongside traces from other instrumented services and queried with SQL. Setup involves creating an experiment, configuring the Databricks destination with workspace ID, region and spans table, then running a task and inspecting the trace.

    Would Local AI Become the Dr.Pepper?

    Using Dr Pepper's rise to America's No. 2 soda as an analogy, the post argues that local AI can earn a lasting place by fitting specific needs rather than outperforming frontier models. It notes limits of scaling—finite public training data and diminishing returns from added compute—and suggests tasks like routing, personal knowledge management, and dictation could move to edge devices where privacy, speed, and local control matter. It cites Google AI Edge Foresight, Fluid voice, LiteLLM, Ollama, and DSH's creator mode as examples for experimenting with locally hosted models.

    Engineers use AI to write more code. Where's the AI to fix it?

    An SRE asks why engineers now have AI to write code three times faster but no AI to fix the bugs that code generates, and the author argues the industry built AI for only half of software. Citing Google's 2025 DORA report, the piece notes that higher AI adoption is associated with both increased delivery throughput and increased delivery instability, while Catchpoint's SRE Report 2025 found median time spent on toil rose from 25% to 30%. The author argues fix-side AI must know your systems rather than the internet, show its work with confidence levels and evidence, and leave the final decision with the engineer, and describes Sera, an AI SRE teammate inside Xurrent IMR.

    Cost per task: Using cheap classifiers to route across Gemini models and thinking levels

    The article argues that cost per successful task, not price per token, governs production economics for coding agents, and reports a 50-question auto-graded benchmark routing tasks with TypeSafe's Jev classifier across Gemini configurations. A frozen regex and prompt-length heuristic scored 93.8% on 16 development questions but fell 23.2 points to 70.6% on 34 held-out tasks, while Jev agreed with hand labels on all 34 and 48 of 50 overall; capping maxOutputTokens at 300 saved nothing on easy tasks and broke 7 of 25 hard ones. A router sending tasks to Flash-Lite first and escalating Jev-flagged complex ones to Flash on low thinking solved all 50, as did Flash on low thinking alone, and the article notes caching favors keeping long context-heavy turns on one model.

    F3 Lightning: How Meta Accelerates Ads ML Features to Production at Scale

    Meta introduces F3 Lightning, an infrastructure layer on top of its Facebook Feature Framework (F3) that decouples feature releases from shared execution so each of the 20,000+ features in an ads ranking request can be compiled, validated, deployed, and rolled back independently. To preserve F3's efficiency, it uses stable computation identifiers, a single shared execution plan, one shared memory buffer per request, and dense index mapping for direct array access. Meta reports comparable extraction features reach production about 3.6x faster than prior F3 with no increase in infrastructure compute cost.

    LLMjacking: The AWS, Google Cloud and Azure settings that cap stolen AI keys

    Google's threat team reports that attackers using stolen cloud and AI keys ran up over $100,000 in a day, and up to $1 million, on victims' model bills, entering mainly via stolen IAM credentials, service account keys and GitHub tokens, plus leaked AI keys, open Ollama servers and a LiteLLM bug. The piece converts that advice into exact settings for AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, noting that Bedrock invocation logging and Google's Data Access logs are off by default, that budget alerts do not stop spend, and that tokens-per-minute quotas are the only ceiling that works in minutes. It also finds that the LiteLLM CVE number cited by GTIG is publicly listed as a different bug, and that no public advisory covers the /key/regenerate flaw.

    Service Accounts

    Amp introduced Service Accounts: workspace-owned accounts created by workspace admins that are not tied to a single user, with their own API keys and third-party credentials, whose threads are visible to and usable by other workspace members. They suit team-owned work such as codebase review and maintenance, recurring documentation checks, and programmatic invocations like a CI job that starts a thread via amp -ox using the service account's API key. Because anyone in the workspace can drive a service account's threads, credentials assigned to it should be ones you would be comfortable giving all workspace members.
