Database ACID Properties: Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, Durable – BMC Software

Understanding the foundation of reliable and consistent database transactions I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that data is pretty important. Data is especially important for modern organizations. In fact, The Economist went so far as to say that data surpassed oil as the world’s most valuable resource, which was back in 2017. One of the problems with data, though, is the massive amounts that need to be processed daily. There’s so much data being generated across the globe these days that we have to come up with a new term just to express how much data there is:

Lightning AI Joins AI Alliance To Advance Open, Safe, Responsible AI

Company Joins International Community of AI Organizations, Led by IBM and Meta, That Includes Leading Startups, Academia, Research and Government Organizations Lightning AI, the company behind PyTorch Lightning, today announced it has joined the AI Alliance, which includes more than 50 leading organizations across industries that are coming together to support open AI research, development, innovation and science. Lightning AI has supported open source AI since 2019 by building and making public PyTorch Lightning, torchmetrics, lit-gpt and lit-llama, enterprise-grade tools available to the general developer community. These tools have set new standards for training foundation models at scale and are

Ethical Considerations and Best Practices in LLM Development 

Bias is inherent to building a ML model. Bias exists on a spectrum. Our job is to tell the difference between the desirable bias and the one that needs correction. We can identify biases using benchmarks like StereoSet and BBQ, and minimize them with ongoing monitoring across versions and iterations. Adhering to data protection laws is not as complex if we focus less on the internal structure of the algorithms and more on the practical contexts of use. To keep data secure throughout the model’s lifecycle, implement these practices: data anonymization, secure model serving and privacy penetration tests. Transparency can

You can now fine-tune open-source video models

AI video generation has gotten really good. Some of the best video models like tencent/hunyuan-video are open-source, and the community has been hard at work building on top of them. We’ve adapted the Musubi Tuner by @kohya_tech to run on Replicate, so you can fine-tune HunyuanVideo on your own visual content. Never Gonna Give You Up animal edition, courtesy of @flngr and @fofr. HunyuanVideo is good at capturing the style of the training data, not only in the visual appearance of the imagery and the color grading, but also in the motion of the camera and the way the characters

How to Fine-Tune a FLUX Model in under an hour with AI Toolkit and a DigitalOcean H100 GPU

FLUX has been taking the internet by storm this past month, and for good reason. Their claims of superiority to models like DALLE 3, Ideogram, and Stable Diffusion 3 have proven well founded. With capability to use the models being added to more and more popular Image Generation tools like Stable Diffusion Web UI Forge and ComyUI, this expansion into the Stable Diffusion space will only continue. Since the model’s release, we have also seen a number of important advancements to the user workflow. These notably include the release of the first LoRA (Low Rank Adaptation models) and ControlNet models

Top 7 meeting intelligence platforms in 2025

Companies lose millions to unproductive meetings with executives spending up to 23 hours per week in conversations that often lead to more questions than answers. Still, the real cost isn’t just time—it’s the valuable insights, decisions, and action items that slip through the cracks between meetings. Meeting intelligence platforms aim to change this paradigm. They combine advanced speech recognition, natural language processing, and conversation analytics to turn routine meetings into searchable data that drives better business outcomes. They’re not just recording conversations. They’re unlocking patterns, surfacing insights, and turning meetings into a strategic asset. However, finding the right platform for

LangGraph 0.3 Release: Prebuilt Agents

By Nuno Campos and Vadym Barda Over the past year, we’ve invested heavily in making LangGraph the go-to framework for building AI agents. With companies like Replit, Klarna, LinkedIn and Uber choosing to build on top of LangGraph, we have more conviction than ever that we are on the right path. A core principle of LangGraph is to be as low level as possible. There are no hidden prompts or no enforced “cognitive architectures” in LangGraph. This has served to make it production ready and also distinguishes itself from all other frameworks. At the same, we do see the value
