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 .

Auto-reload your credits
Now you can set up automatic credit reloading in the Billing page. Enable this so you won't run out of credits in the middle of a job. This applies to users on the Starter plan.
Introducing Modular Cloud
Modular Cloud is now generally available. Sign up and run inference right away on one of our shared model endpoints.
Start where you left off
Your work in the Playground now carries over between visits. Previous chats for each model are saved automatically and listed in the right sidebar. Click any conversation to pick back up on it. Each model now remembers the inference settings you last used, such as max tokens, temperature, and reasoning mode.
See more accurate usage numbers
A model endpoint shows more accurate usage: We now report cached input tokens in model usage. FLUX megapixels now appear in model usage.
Set a monthly spend limit
You can now cap how much your organization spends each billing cycle with a monthly spend limit . When your organization reaches its limit, API requests return a 401 error until the next billing cycle starts or an admin raises or removes the limit.
Use the Playground without an API key
You don't need to create an API key to try a model anymore. Open the Playground , select a shared model, and start running inference. Playground usage still bills to your organization.
Choose which emails you get
Your profile page now has email preferences for billing alerts, tips, and marketing.
Edit the system prompt
You can now edit the system prompt when you chat with a model in the Playground . Each model remembers your system prompt. To go back to the default prompt, click Reset .
