NeurDB: On the Design and Implementation of an AI-powered Autonomous Database

Summary: NeurDB is an AI-powered autonomous database that embeds end-to-end AI workflows inside the engine to enable efficient in‑database analytics and learned components. Novelty: fast‑adaptive learned components and an in‑DB AI ecosystem that handles data and workload drift, yielding substantial empirical gains. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
