Ghost: Free Postgres For Agents
Agents are desperate for ephemeral databases.
They spin up projects, fork environments, test ideas, and tear them down. Over and over. But every database on the market was designed for humans who provision once and stick around. Agents don't work that way.
Ghost is a database built for agents. Unlimited databases, unlimited forks, 1 TB of storage, and 100 compute hours per month. All free. Try it here.
Long-running agents can keep making progress over time across many context windows and sandboxes. They can recover from failure, leave structural artifacts behind, and resume where they left off. This post looks at the current state of long-running agents and explains how an engineer can use long-running agents today without writing the whole thing from scratch.
NVIDIA’s new Nemotron-3-4B-Nano-Omni is a 4-billion parameter model designed to run natively on your phone or PC with sub-100ms response times. It’s a natively multimodal powerhouse that processes text, images & audio in a single pass: Unlike traditional models that convert audio to text (ASR) then back to speech (TTS), Nano-Omni processes audio directly. This preserves emotional nuance, tone,… that usually get lost in translation.
Bring your existing apps, projects or websites into Base44 from other platforms, including your actual data, schema, and frontend code. You can migrate an existing project from another platform directly into Base44. Base44 connects to your source and brings over not just the design and structure, but your actual data too: contacts, products, pages, and more. Pick up right where you left off, without starting from scratch.
