So many goodies in 26ai that people are keen to see

Me judging a parent that has a monster as a child and just can't see it. Also me cleaning up after Klaus has murdered a bird and chewed its head off. Oh he's such a cutie...

@StewAshton Yep. I think a lot of people think developers just write code, but it is a relatively small part of the job. This is why I say AI assisted development, rather than developer replacement. 😀

@oraclebase The first time someone promised my management to make coding 3 times faster was 1984. I kept track of my work hours: I *wrote code* 15% of the time. When management learned that *at best* dev productivity would increase by 10%, we never heard about the miracle product again.

No Agile? No DevOps? Without them your AI assisted development will fail! oracle-base.com/blog/2026/05/1…

We got APEX 26.1 before GTA6. blogs.oracle.com/apex/announcin…

Yes. It was. blogs.oracle.com/apex/announcin…

Could this be the APEX 26.1 upgrade? oracleapex.com/ords/r/apex/wo… @OracleAPEX #orclapex

Oracle APEX 26.1 is now generally available! ✨ Open Application Specification Language 🧠 AI Interactive Reports 🤖 AI Agents and AI Tools social.ora.cl/6012BBxTKY #orclAPEX #LowCode

@connor_mc_d So when is APEX 26.2 coming? 🤣

I'm good to go ... you can be too! Head over to oracle.com/tools/download…

The funny thing is, I just remembered I wrote this a couple of months ago. 😀 Artificial Intelligence (AI): The CEO BS Generator oracle-base.com/blog/2026/02/2…

Strategic Trendslop is my new favourite phrase. Researchers Asked LLMs for Strategic Advice. They Got “Trendslop” in Return hbr.org/2026/03/resear…

@oraclebase @OracleAPEX CDN is already live 🥳: static.oracle.com/cdn/apex/26.1.…

Ouch... ☹️ RU 19.31 has been put on hold and will be available soon again mikedietrichde.com/2026/05/13/ru-…

Not really a "hot take", more like stating the bleedin' obvious: AI Slop is Killing Online Communities rmoff.net/2026/05/06/ai-…

@FriedholdMatz I'm just a dabbler. I don't have a lot more to say than what I have posted in the past (including links). oracle-base.com/blog/2026/04/1… I don't want to write too much about agents because I've only played. I'm not trying to be "the AI guy". 😀

@oraclebase If you have the time, could you perhaps show us the path to your success in this area as well?

I've been playing with the "gemma4:e2b" model on my crappy old laptop. It is surprisingly fast with good results. I think this will be my new default small model when playing with local LLMs using Ollama or LM Studio.

Fedora 44 and Oracle oracle-base.com/blog/2026/05/0…

@MartinDBA I've played around with OpenClaw hooked up to local LLMs using Ollama and LM Studio. Not tried specifically Codex.

@oraclebase Did you manage to include it in a coding agent? I totally failed to get it to work on files using codex. Would have been nice to ask it to peer review a file in my project directory.

@chris_slattery The same thing you ask any LLM. It's just a model that is running on your PC, rather than on the cloud.

@oraclebase Not ran anything on local kit. What kind of stuff can you ask it

@chris_slattery The same as most other LLMs. It's just small and can run on rubbish kit like mine. :)

@oraclebase What can it do ?
