how do we validate explainer videos. Is there a benchmark for this?

people are just fighting for numbers.. i don't fundamentally see the model being better

every once in a while i use this! it's so easy to memorize this domain

Love to see Open source models doing better than SOTA

For high-throughput applications, we expect minimal differences compared to Supabase on the hot path, since both ultimately run on native Postgres and rely on the same proven, open-source modules (RLS, replicas, extensions).

Where MCP stands apart is in flexibility and safety: we provide the most secure and scalable setup out of the box, with guardrails for agents and developers, while still letting you drop down into Postgres when you want fine-grained control.

For the hosted version, we completely manage Postgres for you — it’s fully provisioned, secured, and maintained in our cloud. That way you don’t have to worry about backups, scaling, or patching.

If you’d prefer to bring your own Postgres, that’s possible through our self-hosting version. You get the same agent-native features, but plugged into your own database instance and infrastructure.

We run on AWS as our underlying infrastructure, largely because of our team’s deep experience with it and the materiality of its ecosystem

Right now our focus is purely on Postgres, since it integrates best with our agent-native system. That said, we do plan to support other database types in the future as the ecosystem grows and user demand makes sense.

100%!!

Eventually, we see InsForge as more than just a Supabase alternative. Supabase is great for giving developers a backend in minutes, but it was never designed with agents in mind.

InsForge is a new category: agent-native backends. Instead of just exposing APIs, our MCP servers actually set up database, storage, auth, and policies with safe defaults, so both agents and humans can collaborate without breaking things. On top of that, the system knows how to debug, enforce security, and adapt workflows automatically.

Supabase MCP is more like a wire — it gives you a way to connect APIs, but it’s still up to you to set up the backend logic, security, and debugging around it.

Our MCP, on the other hand, is more of an ecosystem. It doesn’t just connect APIs — it actually sets up your backend with proper defaults, security, and advanced features out of the box. It also understands how to debug and manage workflows end-to-end, so agents and developers don’t have to manually patch things together.
