Given that the core feature of Postgres is rock-hard reliability, this is great news.

I wonder if the same is happening with mySQL? And if any of these would means OrioleDB takes a lot longer to be integrated?

I absolutely think that this is fantastic. LLMs are widely and so, everyone and their grandma has the capability to compromise on any system. We need to be more proactive on fixing bugs.

Ok, but does (s)he know? It's just guessing, so unfounded non-news?

"It’s possible that some of this jump is the result of committers making more mistakes this year than they did last year, but I don’t think anyone who works on the project really believes that’s the main cause. Rather, it seems likely that PostgreSQL committers were about as conservative in 2026 as they were in preceding years, but a lot more of the mistakes they made were quickly found by LLMs."

and

"And I think that’s also why we had so many late reverts, and why the release itself is delayed. Two factors are at play here."

so?

"it's AI's fault"

I missed when AI became accountable for Postgres releases, when did that happen?

bug resolution is more important it may be affect delivery date

Much need for Security

> given that we have forty years of bugs that humans were unable to find but LLMs are quite capable of discovering, how are we ever going to catch up, and how will PostgreSQL continue to innovate?

I mean, maybe just innovate less? "Innovation" is one of those words that makes me queasy nowadays. It's been true for decades that a good deal of what's touted as "innovation" is just stuff that is not actually as important as fixing what's already there. Most software releases new versions far too often for far too little reason. So overall it's good to see Postgres slowing down rather than just barreling ahead with a new release.

AI is great for one-shotting impressive demos and fixing well-defined things; it's not even close when it comes to very long context and really complex tasks. If you haven't created a harness around your complex application, the use of AI will hinder rather than help your project.
