Analytical workloads operating on data stored in external database systems face a fundamental bottleneck: data access is guarded entirely by the database driver, like JDBC or ODBC, forcing all reads through query execution and other driver layers that are not designed for bulk columnar analytics. We present Jailbreak, an approach that bypasses the database engine entirely by reading storage files directly and materializing data as in-memory columnar buffers.
Zeta‑Lite is a WebAssembly‑based in‑browser SQL database that brings concurrent, snapshot‑isolated transactions and copy‑on‑write database branching to the client side. It is a compact 2.87 MB gzipped build of the Zeta engine, offering a full PostgreSQL‑compatible feature set—including joins, CTEs, window functions, JSONB, full‑text search, HNSW vector search, and graph queries—while maintaining high read/write throughput across major browsers. The engine’s log‑centric asynchronous MVCC core enables overlapping transactions on a single thread and unique branching capabilities rarely seen even in server‑side databases.
whyItMatters":"Zeta‑Lite’s concurrent, branchable design provides a lightweight, privacy‑preserving, and offline‑ready memory layer for in‑browser AI agents, enabling them to explore, test, and commit speculative changes efficiently."

arXiv:2607. 17269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models encode world models implicitly in neural weights, which exposes four structural risks in high-precision domains such as medicine and finance: hallucination, frozen knowledge, poor explainability, and poor modifiability.

The paper introduces a new text‑to‑SQL benchmarking framework that incorporates realistic role‑based access control (RBAC) constraints. It augments existing benchmarks by generating plausible user roles and access policies through an LLM‑assisted workflow, followed by human‑in‑the‑loop quality control. The framework also provides evaluation metrics to detect RBAC‑specific failures and separate SQL utility from compliance, revealing that many high‑scoring models degrade sharply under access constraints.

arXiv:2502. 11201v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: NoSQL databases are core data infrastructure, yet natural-language access to them remains underdeveloped: correct query generation must recover how a non-relational data model represents entities, nested paths, arrays, missing fields, and dynamic keys.
