Part 10/11:
The summit highlighted an industry moving towards an interconnected, open ecosystem. Projects like Apache Polaris exemplify vendor-neutral governance, supporting multi-engine interoperability. The growing support for open formats and catalogs reflects an industry committed to unbundling traditional data monoliths and empowering organizations to innovate freely.
On the AI front, efforts continue to embed models directly within data platforms. Snowflake's Snowpark and Snowpark Containers facilitate executing Spark code natively, providing high efficiency and governance. Through these innovations, organizations can deploy LLMs and multimodal models at scale, extracting insights from all forms of data faster and more securely.
