Insights from the Microsoft AI Tour 2026 in Munich – Between Vision, Sovereignty and Real‑World Applications

13. March 2026

A personal recap from the Microsoft AI Tour 2026 in Munich, covering Satya Nadella’s keynote, multimodal AI research in healthcare, sovereign cloud architectures, and emerging trends around AI agents, Power Platform, and the revival of Excel as an AI‑driven data interface.

Clarity often only emerges when planning data products or software projects once the development phases have been clearly defined. Taking a step-by-step approach can gradually reduce uncertainty and align expectations within interdisciplinary teams.

AI Image Generation in Practice

27. February 2026

AI image generation has made a massive leap forward since 2025, evolving from distorted results to the production of photorealistic 4K images in real time. In this article, we explore how modern diffusion models work, offer practical tips for structured prompting and demonstrate how to achieve consistency across multiple images using a customer project on storyboard creation. We also explain which models are currently the best and where the technology's limits lie.

IT-Days 2025

5. January 2026

Data science, AI and cloud architectures form the core of our business, but it's sometimes beneficial to step outside your comfort zone. That's precisely what our colleague sat scieneers did in mid-December at IT Days 2025 in Frankfurt. We took away ideas from topics such as software architecture, DevOps, agile methods, and digital sovereignty that will directly influence our daily work on scalable RAG systems, clean software architecture, and monitoring.

From Zero to Hero: Implementing RAG using PostgreSQL

10. December 2025

Large Language Models excel, but they struggle with private data — until Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) steps in. This guide will show you how to transform PostgreSQL with pgvector, enabling semantic and full-text keyword searches, as well as row-level security for safe access. Follow the step-by-step instructions to implement hybrid retrieval and enhance accuracy without requiring new infrastructure.

Throwback to our fall event 2025

8. October 2025

Once again, the team took centre stage. All scieneers from Karlsruhe, Cologne and Hamburg came together for a two-day autumn event at the end of September. As well as having some exciting discussions and taking part in some joint activities, we also welcomed five new colleagues. We are now a team of around 50 people!

PyData 2025

10. September 2025

PyData Berlin 2025 at the Berlin Congress Center was three days full of talks, tutorials, and tech community spirit. The focus was on open-source tools and agentic AI, as well as addressing the question: How can LLMs be used productively and in a controlled manner? We from scieneers gave a presentation on LiteLLM, titled “One API to Rule Them All? LiteLLM in Production”.

Machine learning workflow for evaluating genetic variants based on protein structure embeddings

6. August 2025

Missense variants, that is, single amino acid substitutions in proteins, are often difficult to assess. Our machine learning workflow uses protein structure-based graph embeddings to predict the pathogenicity of such variants. In doing so, the structural information enhances existing approaches like the CADD score and provides new insights for genomic medical diagnostics.

Throwback to our spring event 2025

4. June 2025

Most of our colleagues from our three locations Karlsruhe, Cologne, and Hamburg met in Hamburg for two days. We discussed specialist and internal topics, gained new ideas, and shared experiences.

Microsoft Fabric: Processing real-time data with Eventstreams

4. June 2025

We provide an overview of how real-time data is processed with event streams in Microsoft Fabric.
