Are #OracleAIDatabase #26ai autonomous databases not yet caught up with the new version numbering? (i.e., 23.26.0)? I just created a new 26ai autonomous database, but it looks like the version is an October 2025 RU update to 23.10.0.25.10 instead?

OK, this is supposed to include Autonomous? I just created an "always free" 26ai database; but the version shows as 23.10.x.x.x instead of 23.26.0? Thanks.

I was behind this city bus over the weekend, and I suspect this marketing campaign is going to backfire.

I did this with 23.7 in the pre-built VirtualBox appliance:
alter system set inmemory_force=base_level scope=spfile;
alter system set inmemory_size=256m scope=spfile;
Of course there is only so much memory to work with, but I see this at the PDB level:
alter system set inmemory_force=base_level scope=spfile;
alter system set inmemory_size=256m scope=spfile;

It's hard to quantify quality, but I was impressed with the detail I was getting with the 14b model. Looks like a bit over 1/s when I asked about TPS calculations. :)

Deepseek-r1 14b actually runs on my Raspberry Pi 5 with 16 GB. A bit slow, but I asked it two questions about Lollapalooza. Its "thought process" is rather odd, it's painfully slow on a Raspberry Pi, but it got the answer to both questions right. Eventually!

I guess AI will take over the world soon. Today, a local version of the llama 3.2 model on my Raspberry Pi told me I should eat 10 POUNDS OF CANDY BARS PER DAY.

Wow, I'm going to have to spend some time on one of these superclusters, just wait to see what kinds of AI cat pictures I can generate. Hell, they might even be in 3D. Wait, I think I'll be able to churn out a new Garfield movie every. Damn. Day.

Apparently, Windows Update just CAN'T WAIT to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. While at the same time telling me that I better check first. But is still going ahead with Windows 11 version 23H2. What could possibly go wrong.

One of the ways in which I entertain myself. Still wondering why IPv5 never took off either.
