Professor Calvin Williamson of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) is using Dolt to teach AI safety to non-coders.

"Making the LLM work on a branch for safety" is the future of agentic workflows.

Cursor's founding engineers believe that AI requires database version control.
Andrej Karpathy thinks so.
The CS department at UC Berkeley agrees.

Part 2 of our AI series: Why agents need Git for data, and why most databases fall short.

Dolt just shipped `require_client_cert`—a single config line that locks down your ENTIRE database.

One setting > hoping every new user is set up securely.

Requiring Client Certificates
Dolt supports a new configuration option, `listener.require_client_cert`, that forces all clients to send a certificate when they connect, otherwise the connect is refused. You can use this option to globally require all clients to present a certificate so that both ends of the connection are verified.

We tested Bolt.new with Dolt (our version-controlled SQL database) 🔄

TL;DR: Bolt produced reliable code and rarely broke the app - much better than Lovable/Vercel. But Replit's App Testing feature still gives it the edge.

Data version control is the missing ingredient in agentic applications outside of code. Dolt is the only database where version control operations are primitives. If you’re building an agentic system and want it to do real work, give Dolt a try.

Andrej Karpathy Says Agents Need Diffs
In a recent interview on the Dwarkesh podcast, Andrej Karpathy talked about how agents require diffs. We're jealous we didn't think of that so we wrote an article praising Andrej's take.

Large Dolt databases are slow to interact with on the dolt command line. Most of the slowness comes from loading required storage file indexes, so we found a solution. We now give you an option to keep the storage indexes in memory using mmap.

Faster Large Database Access with `mmap`
Large Dolt databases are slow to interact with on the `dolt` command line. We implemented a solution using `mmap`. Turn it on for your large database if you want a faster `dolt` CLI.
