Predict dynamic table refresh behavior with EXPLAIN CHANGES (General availability)
You can now use EXPLAIN CHANGES to predict a dynamic table's refresh behavior before it happens, either for a manual refresh or as part of a DDL change, without applying the change.
Horizon Catalog Explorer UI (Preview)
With this release, the Horizon Catalog Explorer is the default experience for browsing Snowflake objects in Snowsight, replacing Database Explorer. The Horizon Catalog Explorer provides consistent navigation and object detail pages while preserving the tabs and actions that you already use.
Embedding Streamlit in Snowflake apps in external pages (General availability)
Embedding Streamlit in Snowflake apps in external pages is now generally available. You can render a container-runtime app inside a page you host, such as a customer portal or an internal dashboard, using a single tag.
Elastic Channels for Snowpipe Streaming (General availability)
Elastic Channels for Snowpipe Streaming are now generally available. Elastic Channels provide one implicit, server-scaled ingestion path per pipe, so concurrent producers can stream directly to Snowflake tables and supported Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables without managing channel names, lifecycle, ordering, or offset tokens.
Webhook-triggered deployments for Databricks Apps will soon be generally available
Starting in October 2026, webhook-triggered deployments for Databricks Apps will be generally available. Automatically deploy your app when changes are pushed to a connected GitHub or Azure DevOps repository, so your deployed app stays in sync with your repository without manual redeployment. See Deploy a Databricks app .
Sharing foreign Delta tables with OpenSharing is now generally available
Sharing and reading foreign Delta tables with OpenSharing is now generally available. Providers can share Delta-format tables federated from OneLake, a Hive metastore, or AWS Glue, without copying data into Databricks. See Add foreign Delta tables to a share .

Our new Text-to-Speech model entered public beta with lower latency and more expressive speech
Our new Text-to-Speech model is available in public beta, with lower latency and more expressive speech. In our latest measurements, the beta reaches time to first audio in under 50 ms, against 225 ms for the production model. Latency varies with network conditions and input. Set model_name to "gradium-tts-beta" in your TTS setup to use the beta.
Create a voice from a written description, no audio sample needed
Create a voice from a written description, no audio sample needed. Describe the accent, age and character you need, generate up to five candidates, and keep your favourite. The voice works with the same Text-to-Speech endpoint as any catalogue voice. In our blind listening evaluation, native speakers judged how well voices matched accent prompts.
Clean up a voice you already have without changing its language or who is speaking
Clean up a voice you already have without changing its language or who is speaking. POST /voice-generator/enhance takes a flagship voice, a clone or a candidate and returns candidates with background noise reduced. Audition and convert them like Voice Design candidates. Voice Enhance is in beta; output quality will keep improving.
Our new Text-to-Speech model is now the default, with more expressive speech and lower latency
Our new Text-to-Speech model is now the default, with more expressive speech and lower latency. Existing requests using default use the new model without a setup change. gradium-tts-beta also routes to this model until the next TTS beta arrives. Keep that alias to follow future betas, or use default to stay on stable releases.
A new Gradium Text-to-Speech model is live and is now the default
A new Gradium Text-to-Speech model is live and is now the default. Existing voices, including custom voices, work as-is. The model reads the structured entities that break voice agents in production, such as phone numbers, email addresses, IBANs and reference codes, with no pre-processing or text normalization needed.
Speech-to-Text requests now require a language in json_config
Speech-to-Text requests now require a language in json_config . Our ASR gives its best results when the language is known, so set it whenever you can: en , fr , es , pt , or de . When the language is not known ahead of time, pass any and the model detects it from the audio. Requests that already set a language or any are unaffected.
