DuckDB 2.0 is coming this fall and the alpha is out! I ran the interesting features on my own laptop, and against S3, to see what actually changes for people who build tables and pipelines rather than database engines.
Because yes, DuckDB 2.0 is faster. But to get the speed bump you need to understand how your data is shaped, and sometimes how to model it.

Agents don’t write code like humans do. They grep around endlessly, use pip instead of uv (sad), and strain our most important systems. Agents in data use the same trusty SQL we do, but maybe they wield it differently. How DISTINCT are they from humans, really? Once we know, what sh...
There's so much talk about new ways of working with agent engineering supported workflows. New models are independently creating new metrics and transformations, finding gaps in the business data, reviewing the SQL they write, and verifying everything works with your data platform.
All of it is autonomous, so one might say, why do we still need BI tools, or therefore a...
Frontier-level agentic SQL performance now fits on your laptop, even if your laptop is almost five years old with only 16GB RAM! By combining Qwen 3.8 27B and DuckDB, everything happens locally. If you want, one config change moves the query workload to MotherDuck to handle any scale.
How does this change the way we work? What does this say about the future of using AI...
One prompt and 45 seconds of CLI time. That's what it took an agent to sign up for MotherDuck, load a dataset into a pipeline, and publish a dashboard on top of it. That's the session I'll walk through in this post, with Claude Code driving the new MotherDuck CLI.
Since launching our MCP server in November 2025, we've been investing in making MotherDuck work well with ...
