Elastic

What if semantic search in Elasticsearch was as simple as writing a regular text query? It is now. - Thread below: Here's the full evolution of search: from BM25 to hybrid AI-powered retrieval 🧵 - Video explainer: go.es.io/48weUHt

🧵 Are you flying your AI coding CLI blind? @_jphwang mapped what the major AI coding tools actually expose natively against what you could be capturing. The gaps are bigger than you'd expect. Some highlights: - System prompt? Not exposed in most cases. That's ~10-20K tokens assembled silently per request, invisible without API-layer interception. - Cache TTL? Silent. Hit/miss stats hidden, changes undetectable from CLI logs alone. - Thinking tokens? Billed but hidden. - Tool call audit trail? All 4 tools handle this well. Session logs too. That's roughly where the good news ends. The easiest way to see the full picture is a proxy between the CLI and the API. Raw API payloads, effort params, real cache TTL headers, true token costs: you can be sure you’re getting everything. Forward those logs into Elasticsearch and you get cross-session, cross-tool observability in one place: latency patterns, token trends, cost attribution, tool call failure rates. Flying blind is fine for prototyping. Not for prod.

A defining week at #GoogleCloudNext. Elastic named 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year for Data Management & AI. This means: • Deep integration with Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped, acting as a critical security layer for sovereign and air-gapped environments • Axion-powered performance gains on Elastic Cloud • AI grounded in your data, supporting Gemini models, with Jina Embeddings v3 in Model Garden and self-managed deployments in your VPC From product to platform, Elastic is playing an increasingly critical role across the Google Cloud ecosystem.

Local AI models are having a moment. Gemma 4, GLM 5.1, and Qwen 3.6 all dropped in the same week. Don’t sleep on these models. They can handle real tasks just as well as larger API-based models, especially when paired with the right help. These days, the bottleneck for local models may be the context, more than intelligence.

Just in: Elastic is now a critical security partner for Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped environments. Through our deep integration with @GoogleCloud, Elastic’s agentic security operations platform delivers modern, AI-driven security into fully disconnected environments. • Detect and respond to advanced threats • Unified SIEM + XDR in a single platform • Full control without added complexity For the most sensitive workloads, this changes what’s possible. go.es.io/4sNbreN

Scaling Prometheus shouldn't feel like a second job. But for most SREs it does — multiple backends, cardinality headaches, context-switching between tools just to find root cause. We've fixed that. Native PromQL in Kibana, direct Remote Write ingest, and metrics unified with logs and traces in a single platform. 25x faster queries than Prometheus. 2.5x storage savings. One day to migrate. Keep everything you've built. Ditch the complexity. go.es.io/4cQn1jA

Performance or cost? At #GoogleCloudNext, we’re showing you don’t have to choose. Google Axion ARM instances are now live on Elastic Cloud Hosted. • 25% better price-performance • Faster indexing & query speeds • Zero changes to your workflow Same Elastic, more efficient infrastructure. The details: go.es.io/4eDwsFi

Jina Embeddings v3 is now available as a self-deployable partner model on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Model Garden. Deploy directly within your @GoogleCloud VPC to eliminate external API calls and gain full control over your data and costs. The Impact: • Total Data Control: Data stays inside your perimeter, ideal for regulated industries. • Predictable Pricing: A flat hourly rate for compute that rewards scale (no more per-token metering). • Native Integration: Works out-of-the-box with BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and IAM. Stop choosing between performance and control. go.es.io/4trIQN9

Stop switching tabs. Your AI tools are now the workbench. Elastic is the first to ship interactive security and observability workflows in AI tools, with search alongside. • Triage alerts through AI verdict panels • Run ES|QL queries and build dashboards from natural language • Investigate threats and traces through interactive graphs No more text-only summaries. Three open source MCP Apps, one conversation. The details: go.es.io/4mOxKzA

The true test of GenAI is securely connecting models to enterprise data. Earning our 5th @GoogleCloud Partner of the Year award—this year for Data Management & AI—reflects our continued collaboration with Google Cloud, enabling customers to use Elastic as a data foundation for AI applications built on Vertex AI and Gemini. Dive into the details and catch us at #GoogleCloudNext to see the architecture in action. go.es.io/42kNhgO

Introducing cross-project search for Elastic Cloud Serverless. Search across all your workloads from a single pane of glass, without moving your data. Query distributed Elastic Serverless projects as one while maintaining native project isolation. Cross-project search allows you to keep data separated by region, team, tenant, or environment while maintaining global visibility. Security and Observability teams can query across linked projects to gain full context, without copying or consolidating data. Learn more: go.es.io/4vKRI2g

What does it take to make AI actually work with your data? At #GoogleCloudNext, Elastic is sharing how teams are building GenAI + Agentic AI that performs in the real world, not just in demos. → Design for performance from day one → Build AI that understands your data → Move to AI-driven operations Catch these sessions live.

At #GoogleCloudNext, see how Elastic turns data into real outcomes, faster, smarter, and at scale. Visit the booth to: • Automate investigations: Turn messy logs into clear, actionable insights with Gemini • Accelerate your SOC: Replace legacy SOAR with native AI automation to stop threats faster • Build smarter agents: Use Agent Builder to deploy Gemini-powered AI with real context See what production-ready AI actually looks like. go.es.io/4szxqWu

Deploying AI at scale requires a technological architecture built for speed. In our NVIDIA partnership, we integrate NVIDIA cuVS with Elasticsearch to deliver 12x faster vector search results. Learn more: go.es.io/4twvYoE

ECK 3.3.1 is here! ✅ AutoOps via Cloud Connected for automated clsuter analysis ✅ Self-hosted Package Registry for air-gapped environments ✅ Composable config policies for scalable management Run Elasticsearch on Kubernetes with less manual work → go.es.io/4mqPwZz

The Axios attack again proved the status quo is broken. We caught it by using AI to diff package repo updates. Built Friday, caught the compromise Monday. We open sourced the project so the community can iterate on it. We all need a higher floor for defense.

We’re heading to Google Cloud Next. See how Elastic + @googlecloud use Elasticsearch to bring context to your data, so signals connect and teams can act faster, with precision. Stay tuned for all we have in store. go.es.io/4cjfYk5 #GoogleCloudNext

Elastic Cloud Hosted on AWS GovCloud (US) achieves FedRAMP® High authorization, continuing our team’s longstanding commitment to the highest levels of security and efficiency for sensitive government data. go.es.io/4s4cVAS

At RSAC 2026, Elastic Security showed how AI is transforming modern security operations from detection to response. We announced Elastic Workflows for native automation in Elastic Security and eliminated per-endpoint pricing in Elastic Security XDR. In an era of AI-accelerated threats, we’re ending the “security tax” and saying goodbye to the model that keeps extracting more from defenders each year. Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, joined our session, and spent time with us this week in San Francisco. RSAC 2026, that’s a wrap. 👋

At KubeCon Amsterdam 2026, it was clear teams don’t need more data. They need it to make sense, faster. We showed how Elastic is simplifying OpenTelemetry + bringing agentic AI into investigations. Really good conversations this week.
