    ThinkingMemory Is Now a Memory Database for Agents

    We rebuilt ThinkingMemory around one primitive: recall. Intent in, the right context out, hybrid-retrieved, ranked, and packed to a token budget, with an in-engine lifecycle, bitemporal audit, per-tenant RLS, and an MCP server. 100% recall@5 in roughly 68% fewer tokens than dumping the corpus.

    Intelligence Is Deflating: 938× Cheaper in Three Years

    GPT-4-class capability cost $37.50/M tokens in 2023. Today a 2B-parameter model serves the same benchmark score at $0.04. The frontier held its price; the efficient tier collapsed. The same open model spans a 13× price spread across 12 providers. Built on Bonacci Studio.

    Is AI Taking Jobs? I Joined the Data to Find Out

    Four public datasets (BLS/OEWS, O*NET, Anthropic Economic Index, Indeed). Three occupation coding schemes. One crosswalk. AI has not cut jobs in aggregate, but it is bending the hiring curve along the automation line before headcount moves. Built in Bonacci Studio.

    The Current State of the AI Ecosystem: A Case Study with Bonacci Studio

    25 months of activity from GitHub, arXiv, and Hugging Face, 613 data points across five categories. RAG is up 340% year over year. Training from scratch is up 32% month over month. Nothing is cooling. The agent wrote the PySpark, ran it, and rendered the analysis live in Bonacci Studio.

    Outcome-Aware Agents: From Token Prediction to Action Consequence Modeling

    A new research paper introducing AC-LSCM, an Action-Conditioned Latent Structural Causal Model that gives agents an explicit forward model with interventional semantics. 36× fewer safety violations than a Transformer baseline on synthetic planning tasks.

    How I Built 3 9B MoE Models Under a $5K to $10K Budget

    How I built three 9B Mixture-of-Experts models trained on 100B tokens each for under $10K using Google's TPU Research Cloud program. Domain-specific SLMs that excel at their tasks while keeping costs low.

    Introducing Autonomous AI Agent for Your Data Platform

    Meet the autonomous AI agent powered by ThinkingMemory that lives inside Bonacci Studio. It remembers context, executes SQL, SSH, APIs, and MCP autonomously, monitors your infrastructure 24/7, and routes alerts to Slack, Discord, Teams, Email, PagerDuty, and more. Use TL or PySpark scripts as custom heartbeat checks.

    Introducing ThinkingLanguage: A Programming Language Built for Data and AI

    Data deserves its own language. ThinkingLanguage (TL) is a compiled, statically-typed programming language where tables, streams, tensors, and models are native types, not library add-ons. Replace Python, SQL, Spark, and YAML with one fast, safe language.

Try it yourself

Half of these analyses were built by an agent in Bonacci Studio

The case studies above are real pipelines: the agent wrote the code, ran it on Spark, and rendered the results. Describe yours and watch it ship.
