AI_MULTI_EMBED support for large video files in semantic video search (General availability)
Snowflake Cortex AI_MULTI_EMBED is now generally available for semantic video search with support for large video files up to 6 GB using the TwelveLabs Marengo Embed 3.0 model, enabling organizations to index and search production-grade video content directly in Snowflake.
Amazon S3 Tables Iceberg REST catalog integration (General availability)
Snowflake can now connect directly to the Amazon S3 Tables Iceberg REST endpoint, so you don’t need to create an AWS Glue integration. This capability is now generally available.
Request Access in Workspaces (Preview)
With this preview release, you can resolve access-related SQL errors in Workspaces by submitting access requests directly from Snowsight. When a query fails because of missing privileges and the user can’t self-resolve the issue by switching roles, the user can submit a request with a reason.
READ METADATA privilege is GA
The READ METADATA privilege is now generally available in Unity Catalog. READ METADATA provides read-only visibility into the same metadata available to the object's owner or a user with MANAGE , including security-sensitive information that BROWSE doesn't expose, such as privilege grants, row filters and column masks, and ABAC policies.
Notion connector (Beta)
The managed Notion connector in Lakeflow Connect is now available in Beta. The connector ingests pages, data sources, databases, blocks, comments, and users from Notion into Databricks. See Notion connector .
