Supabase is acquiring Turso to build database infrastructure tailored for the surge of agent-created software driven by AI. Supabase says agents are spinning up millions of databases for prototypes and small workloads, and existing provisioning models can’t scale; the combined plan is to offer cheap, on-demand databases that behave like files - easy to create, suspend when idle, and able to migrate to production. Turso’s architecture, a Rust reimplementation of SQLite plus a cloud platform that lets a single server manage millions of databases by loading and suspending instances, fits this pattern: SQLite for lightweight per-agent databases and Postgres for production-scale applications.
Turso will continue operating and its team joins Supabase, including Glauber Costa and Pekka Enberg, with Glauber leading the agentic infrastructure effort. Customers such as Superhuman, Sauna.ai, CTO.new and Mastra already use Turso’s platform. Supabase will keep building around Postgres while integrating Turso’s SQLite-based, on-demand model into the broader ecosystem, maintaining both companies’ open-source focus. The acquisition is positioned as a strategic move to support rapid, low-cost database creation for AI agents and to advance Supabase’s mission to store growing volumes of data.

AstaBrief is an open-source model designed for fast scientific report generation, capable of turning research questions and literature into cited reports. It reduces generation time by nearly three and a half times compared to proprietary models, making it a useful tool for researchers. (allenai.org)
Shrivu Shankar argues that SaaS companies are evolving into 'harnesses,' where core tasks are performed by AI agents rather than humans. This shift transforms organizational structure, with humans overseeing and reviewing AI-driven processes within the company. (blog.sshh.io)
Three AI agents - Meta’s Muse, Anthropic’s Claude, and OpenAI’s GPT - were tested on multilingual research tasks involving U.S. and Iranian data. The experiment focused on how language and context influence agent performance across reasoning, sourcing, and artifact creation. (royapakzad.substack.com)
