      <description>&lt;img src="https://res.infoq.com/presentations/enterprise-data-architecture-ai-agents/en/mediumimage/fabiane-nardon-medium-1787218382028.jpeg"/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fabiane Nardon shares how TOTVS prepares enterprise data for token-hungry AI agents. She discusses balancing deterministic logic and non-deterministic LLMs across precision, security, and cost. Nardon details using data mesh, low-latency database architectures, semantic ontologies, and dynamic MCP tool selection to optimize context windows and reduce token overhead in transactional systems.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;i&gt;By Fabiane Nardon&lt;/i&gt;</description>

      <title>OVHcloud Raises Prices as AI Memory Demand Reprices Non-AI Infrastructure</title>

Founder Octave Klaba says memory cost six times more in June than a year earlier, as RAM suppliers shifted capacity toward high-bandwidth memory for AI. AWS, buying years ahead, has repriced one reserved GPU product.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;i&gt;By Steef-Jan Wiggers&lt;/i&gt;</description>
