Version targeting for Cortex Agent and Cortex Analyst evaluations (General availability)
Cortex Agent and Cortex Analyst evaluations now let you control the versioned configuration used for scoring: Version targeting pins the configuration under evaluation, not the agent behavior that gets evaluated: each run invokes the agent again and scores a newly generated trace.
CoCo automations in CLI and Snowsight (Preview)
CoCo automations in the CoCo CLI and CoCo in Snowsight are now available in public preview. Automations let you schedule recurring, unattended CoCo runs that execute in a Snowflake-managed sandbox. Each run creates a Cortex thread that you can inspect and continue in CoCo. Automations created from one surface can be monitored and managed from the other.
