Serverless PostgreSQL is a fully managed cloud database model that decouples compute and storage for independent scaling. It eliminates manual provisioning and charges only for active usage, making it suitable for bursty workloads but less ideal for always-on, latency-sensitive applications. The article also introduces lakebase architecture, which builds on serverless Postgres to unify transactional and analytical workloads, reducing data duplication and simplifying access for AI and real-time applications.

This paper investigates weight pruning for Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in egocentric visual understanding to achieve low-latency inference while preserving doubly-correct predictions—both accurate and evidence-grounded. Existing pruning methods often maintain evidence localization but degrade accuracy. The authors propose a rationale-informed pruning strategy that aligns evidence with decisions, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy and doubly-correct predictions on egocentric video benchmarks.

SwarmFly is an open-source MATLAB-based simulation platform for UAV swarms, addressing issues of poor maintenance, steep learning curves, and single-scenario designs. It supports four coordination modes, a plugin architecture, and real-time maps, validated through eight experiments measuring accuracy, wind tolerance, fault recovery, endurance, and airspace compliance.
