Releasesby GlyphForceEndTurn
Send ForceEndTurn to end the turn in progress immediately. The agent treats everything transcribed so far as the complete user utterance and moves on to think and speak. { "type": "ForceEndTurn" } Use it for push-to-talk release, DTMF tones, UI actions, or to drive turn taking from your own VAD or endpointing stack.

You can now view real-time logs for your Python UDFs in Cloud Logging. This feature is generally available .
Cortex Extension references in agent skills (General availability)
Referencing a Cortex Extension from an agent skill is now generally available. Set the skill source type to CORTEX_EXTENSION and path to the extension's fully qualified name, and Snowflake expands the reference into the extension's member skills at request time, so you don't list each skill individually.
Cortex Agents Coding Agent (General availability)
The Cortex Agents Coding Agent is now generally available. Add the code_toolset_all tool type to a Cortex Agent, and Snowflake provisions and manages a sandbox backed by the same runtime that powers Snowflake CoCo: bash, file read/write/edit, grep, glob, web search, SQL execution, and skills.
Organization user types (General availability)
With this release, you can specify whether an organization user represents a person or a service. Set the TYPE property to SERVICE for a service or application that interacts with Snowflake without human interaction. If you don't specify a type, the organization user is a PERSON user, which matches the previous behavior.
Semantic Studio (Preview)
Semantic Studio is now available in public preview for all accounts. Semantic Studio is the authoring environment for semantic views in Workspaces, combining conversational authoring with CoCo, direct YAML editing, and deployment to the live Snowflake object in a single surface.
Zerobus Ingest into streaming tables is now generally available
Ingesting into streaming tables with Zerobus Ingest in Lakeflow Connect is now generally available. Writing to a streaming table works the same way as writing to a managed Delta table, with the same limits and quotas. See Create or identify the target table .

ForceEndTurn client message
You can now end the current user turn from your own signal instead of waiting for end-of-turn detection.
eot_threshold maximum raised to 1.0
agent.listen.provider.eot_threshold now accepts values up to 1.0 . Set it to 1.0 to fully suppress natural end-of-turn detection and own turn taking with ForceEndTurn . For details, see Configure the Voice Agent and Bring Your Own Turn Detection .
Nova-3 Adds Assamese, Mongolian, and Pashto, Plus Improved Models for Czech, Danish, Swedish, Tagalog, and Turkish
We have added Assamese, Mongolian, and Pashto as new Nova-3 languages and released improved Nova-3 monolingual models for several existing languages. These updates expand language coverage and enhance transcription quality for batch and streaming workloads.
🆕 New languages
- Assamese ( as , as-IN ) , available for batch and streaming. Mongolian ( mn ) , available for batch and streaming. Pashto ( ps , ps-AF ) , available for batch and streaming. Access these languages by setting model="nova-3" and the relevant language code in your request.
✨ Improved models
Batch and streaming models Czech ( cs , cs-CZ ) Danish ( da , da-DK ) Tagalog ( tl ) Batch models Turkish ( tr , tr-TR ) Streaming models Swedish ( sv , sv-SE ) You do not need to change your API requests to access the improvements to existing languages; the updates are live for all users.
Flexible turn-taking control for Flux
Flux now gives you full control over how turns end. Beyond Flux's native end-of-turn detection, you can override it, suppress it entirely, or blend the two , and switch between these modes on the fly, even for a single turn, with a Configure message. Turn-taking goes from a fixed behavior to something you shape around each moment of a conversation.
Three modes of turn-taking
- Automatic (default). Flux's native end-of-turn detection decides when a turn ends. EndOfTurn events carry "trigger": "model" . Nothing changes for existing integrations. Semi-manual. Keep Flux's detection running, but override it whenever you have a definitive signal , a push-to-talk release, a DTMF tone, a "send" tap , by sending a ForceEndTurn .
Switch modes mid-stream , even per turn
Because eot_threshold can be updated live with a Configure message, you can change turn-taking behavior for exactly the turn that needs it and then change back. For example, when a caller is about to read an 8-character alphanumeric account ID, raise eot_threshold to 1.0 so Flux won't cut them off between characters, end the turn yourself once you've...
