OpenFlow for Data Ingestion: OpenFlow, based on Apache open-source tools, enables seamless data movement from various sources into Snowflake. It supports wide-ranging connectors, facilitating the consolidation of structured and unstructured data into one unified repository.
AI SQL Functions for Transformation: Snowflake introduces a suite of SQL functions that allow for classification, sentiment analysis, entity extraction, and summarization via foundation models (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic, DeepSeek). These functions can invoke large or task-specific models directly within SQL, making advanced AI capabilities accessible to database analysts and developers.
