Dragonfly
Dragonfly serves as a seamless substitute for Redis, offering enhanced performance while reducing costs. It is specifically engineered to harness the capabilities of contemporary cloud infrastructure, catering to the data requirements of today’s applications, thereby liberating developers from the constraints posed by conventional in-memory data solutions. Legacy software cannot fully exploit the advantages of modern cloud technology. With its optimization for cloud environments, Dragonfly achieves an impressive 25 times more throughput and reduces snapshotting latency by 12 times compared to older in-memory data solutions like Redis, making it easier to provide the immediate responses that users demand. The traditional single-threaded architecture of Redis leads to high expenses when scaling workloads. In contrast, Dragonfly is significantly more efficient in both computation and memory usage, potentially reducing infrastructure expenses by up to 80%. Initially, Dragonfly scales vertically, only transitioning to clustering when absolutely necessary at a very high scale, which simplifies the operational framework and enhances system reliability. Consequently, developers can focus more on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

DataSet
DataSet offers dynamic, searchable real-time insights that can be stored indefinitely, either through DataSet-hosted solutions or customer-managed, cost-effective S3 storage options. It enables the rapid ingestion of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, creating an unlimited enterprise framework for live data queries, analytics, insights, and retention without adhering to rigid data schema requirements. This technology is favored by engineering, DevOps, IT, and security teams seeking to harness the full potential of their data. With sub-second query performance driven by a patented parallel processing architecture, users can operate more efficiently and effectively to enhance business decision-making processes. It can effortlessly handle hundreds of terabytes of data without the need for rebalancing nodes, storage management, or resource reallocation. The platform scales flexibly and limitlessly, while its cloud-native architecture enhances efficiency, reducing costs and maximizing output. Users benefit from a predictable cost structure that delivers unparalleled performance, ensuring that businesses can thrive in a data-driven landscape. Additionally, the ease of use and robust capabilities of the system empower organizations to focus on innovation rather than data management challenges.

Phi-2
We are excited to announce the launch of Phi-2, a language model featuring 2.7 billion parameters that excels in reasoning and language comprehension, achieving top-tier results compared to other base models with fewer than 13 billion parameters. In challenging benchmarks, Phi-2 competes with and often surpasses models that are up to 25 times its size, a feat made possible by advancements in model scaling and meticulous curation of training data.
Due to its efficient design, Phi-2 serves as an excellent resource for researchers interested in areas such as mechanistic interpretability, enhancing safety measures, or conducting fine-tuning experiments across a broad spectrum of tasks. To promote further exploration and innovation in language modeling, Phi-2 has been integrated into the Azure AI Studio model catalog, encouraging collaboration and development within the research community. Researchers can leverage this model to unlock new insights and push the boundaries of language technology.
