One of THE most exciting events at the #DataCloudSummit was Snowflake's 5-Minute Demo Dare where 3 finalists had 5 minutes to build LIVE in front of an audience of several hundred and a panel of judges. Coalesce.io's own Josh Hall showed (IN JUST 5 MINUTES) how anyone can easily operationalize Snowflake Cortex LLM Functions with Coalesce. Here's what he did: * Translate transcripts to English * Unify translated data sets * Apply Cortex LLM functions * Extract the customer name * Create the sentiment score * Summarize the transcript * Derive JSON mappings I hope next year event is featured in the middle of Summit as it was incredible watching the folks from Airbyte, phData, and Josh work their magic, troubleshoot LIVE any random issues thrown at them by the demo gods, and race against the clock to deliver a compelling demo and tangible end product/result. Shoutout to Felipe Hoffa for hosting such a fun experience.

Great read about two Titans rivalry amongst themselves as well a gearing up for potentials even much bigger battles with industry Giants. At the end of the day customers are winning across the board (even though the “making a choice” process has become quite a bit more complex). And before you make your choice always think about the WHAT (what do you need and what are you solving) and the WHY (why is this important, why do you need it) first, and then pick the HOW (what technologies at what price and configuration is needed) that fits best. Don’t over complicate. #data #dataproducts #cloudtech #databricks #snowflake #gcp #azure #aws

Snowflake's partnership with Anthropic is tectonic. But what are the key implications? Here are 3 critical insights: 1./ Leaders Identified: Similar to the Search Engine space, the frontier models space is indeed "winner takes most." While many models can generate text, sophisticated reasoning is a different ballgame – and only a select few (OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini) do it well. Having Anthropic in Snowflake's corner is a major advantage. 2./ Options Available: Having access to reasoning models alongside everyday models like Llama, Reka, and Arctic in Snowflake gives customers a complete toolkit. Think of this analogy: - Cross-country trip needs a plane - Drive to the airport needs a car - Exploring a neighborhood needs a bike Similarly, you need: - Reasoning models like Anthropic for agents and orchestration [the planes] - Medium-sized models (Llama, Reka, Mistral) for summarization and content generation [the cars] - Small models (Gemma, Phi) for formatting and standardization [the bikes] 3./ Future-proof: This is set to be a major talking point for companies in the coming months as they develop their AI & Agentic strategies. https://lnkd.in/gGnCFBAw #AI #Snowflake #Anthropic #EnterpriseAI #AIStrategy #CloudComputing #LLMs

If you missed Databricks Data+AI Summit 2024, there is still plenty of content recorded for you. Included, is the excellent session by #thoughtleaders Elise Georis, Staff Product Manager and Peter Pogorski, Senior Product Manager. Introducing Databricks’ New Native Ingestion Connectors A major challenge data practitioners face is maintaining #dataingestionpipelines—from on-prem #database connectivity, to evolving SaaS #APIs, to holistic #governance.   Watch this session to learn more about a new set of native ingestion connectors for popular SaaS applications, databases, and file sources. These connectors are auto-optimized, low-maintenance, and integrated with the rest of the #DataIntelligencePlatform—from governance via #UnityCatalog to #orchestration via Databricks Workflows. And you can do it all via a no-code UI or an API.In this demo-packed session, you’ll learn about what’s new, what’s on the roadmap, how to take full advantage of these new ingestion capabilities. https://lnkd.in/g5gKf_bK

Snowflake launched two new features today to help customers use their platform safely. 1) allowing Admins to Enforce Mandatory MFA and 2) the GA launch of Snowflake Trust Center to give a place for admins to monitor the adherence to MFA policies. Mandatory MFA is critical for any SaaS app to be used safely. Password harvesting/reuse/stuffing provides a direct vector to the data that you store in a SaaS app. Glad to see it's coming to Snowflake Their trust center gives admins the flexibility to start their MFA enrollment process with a warning step, or jump right to enforcing MFA for all users. Thank you for releasing this feature for free with all versions. Safety isn't a place for an upsell. If you are a Snowflake admin enable a MFA policy to warn all your users without MFA enabled, and work with your internal stakeholders to set the day when it's mandatory This is great news to see https://lnkd.in/e2DpEV8W
