Great read: What Makes 5% of AI Agents Actually Work in Production? www.motivenotes.ai/p/what-makes...

Very funny ... especially for my German speaking followers ;-)

Just arrived in Croatia 🇭🇷 (Pula). Weather not as expected but will get better 😂. And next week I will go to Rovinj for the HROUG conference!

Philipp Hartenfeller You can now download the sample #orclAPEX app I showcased during last UC AI webinar: Practical AI in PL/SQL Made Easy Download here: www.united-codes.com/products/uc-...

Claude Sonnet 4.5 just dropped 🥳. Hopefully I can use it in GitHub Copilot soon.

I wish there was a way in PL/SQL to pass functions as parameters.

Crazy xAI's new Grok4 fast model does the unthinkable. It is one of the most intelligent models, while being one of the cheapest and the fastest. Didn't think this was possible. (Benchmarks from artifical analysis)

If you are using version 0.15.0 of the dbLinter VS Code extension, please update to version 0.15.1. Thx! This update fixes a problem where the wrong configuration name was being used for anonymous users. Other users are not affected.

I am seeking feedback from those with AI system experience! I'd appreciate your thoughts on the implementation plan for saved prompts and agents in UC AI. Join the discussion: github.com/United-Codes... Thanks! #ucAI

If you have missed it, here is the replay of our webinar about UC AI: how to enable your PL/SQL developers to use AI. Now with chapters www.youtube.com/live/k4Vt7AK... #oracle #ucAI #orclAPEX

Is there any good workaround on how to put big clobs (>32767 char) to a JSON_OBJECT_T in older Oracle versions (18c and less)? #oracle

Just released v25.5 of UC AI: - Structured output - New provider: OCI - Tools improvements Read more here or join later today our webinar to learn more: www.united-codes.com/products/uc-... #orclAPEX #ucAI

Big agenda for tomorrow. All PL/SQL with our free open-source "UC AI" SDK. All with interactive #orclAPEX demos. See the referenced post for links to join the webinar.

Join Oracle ACE @hartenfeller.dev at United Codes, Live! See how easy it is to add AI to your PL/SQL apps using the free UC AI API—live demos in APEX included. www.linkedin.com/events/73642... #OracleACE

OpenAI's tool handling is weird. Their JSON schema deviates from standard, and crucially, it often ignores required fields. Even with GPT-5. Adding required info to the tool description helps. Llama, Gemini, and Anthropic don't have this issue. Maybe reasoning could help.

Google Gemini models are now available in beta on OCI. Currently only in Ashburn, and they actually are not hosted in #OCI; your traffic gets rerouted to Google (like with xAI)... Also nice UX ✅important✅

First time creating my own non-trivial 3D model. Starting the first print; fingers crossed that it turns out fine. It's a shower squeegee holder/hook.

It feels like they took out the heart of the ACE program 😢

I love when software vendors zip their installer so it is only 6.96 GB not 6.97...

Tomorrow, join Oracle ACEs @phartenfeller and @kevinthyssen for their session "United Codes, Live! - APEX Security Basics". Check out the details 👉 www.linkedin.com/events/73642... @kthyssen.bsky.social @hartenfeller.dev #OracleACE

Unstructured data (text, files) holds massive value. LLMs can help transforming it into a structured format! Like - Extract core product flaws from customer feedback. - Automatically extract price information from a PDF Learn how to do this next week in our free webinar

The duality of Cohere with OCI 😤

If you are a PL/SQL or #orclAPEX developer and curious about AI, this might be for you. I will show what you can do with UC AI (free, open-source). - generating text - different providers - analyze images/documents - reasoning - tools/function calls - structured outputs

Working with genAI on OCI is just frustrating.

Trying out the qwen3:4b model in ollama with tools enabled. It’s small, so it runs well on my Mac. Funnily when reasoning is enabled, it does great with simple tasks, but for harder ones, it overthinks extremely and just gives up 😂.

Nice two of my APEX ideas regarding Template Components just got accepted into the radmap. Funnily both had one vote (mine). So its not a majority vote and it does not really help to "promote" ideas.
