What is Weaviate?

Weaviate patched its whole cloud estate in 17 hours after the eMudhra CA compromise.

Weaviate's October has been security-heavy: v1.39.3 fixed a Google-module credential leak and then a nearObject cross-collection vector disclosure. Now it reports rotating certificates across its customer estate and platform within 17 hours of the eMudhra leak. On the product side, 1.40 brings PathSeer adaptive filtered search, and Engram is now a Claude Code plugin for persistent agent memory.

What is Sanity?

Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.

Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.

Weaviate vs Sanity: editorial side-by-side

W
Weaviate
DEVOPS
5.0

Weaviate patched its whole cloud estate in 17 hours after the eMudhra CA compromise.

◆ Current state

Weaviate's October has been security-heavy: v1.39.3 fixed a Google-module credential leak and then a nearObject cross-collection vector disclosure. Now it reports rotating certificates across its customer estate and platform within 17 hours of the eMudhra leak. On the product side, 1.40 brings PathSeer adaptive filtered search, and Engram is now a Claude Code plugin for persistent agent memory.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run in parallel: index and quantization research (HFresh, 4-bit RQ, PathSeer) that lowers memory cost at scale, and an agent-memory layer built on Engram. The security posts suggest Weaviate is preparing to show its operational record to enterprise buyers.

◆ Prediction

Expect 1.40 to reach GA with PathSeer, along with further Engram integrations for other coding agents.

Sanity

6.3

Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.

◆ Current state

Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.

◆ Where it's heading

Sanity is making the agent-facing parts dependable: the MCP server is getting the error codes and validation rules a production client needs. Access visibility for tokens and members follows the same push to let teams audit what automated clients do.

◆ Prediction

Expect more MCP server point releases around validation and Knowledge Base commands, and more usage data on tokens and agents in the console.
