BigQuery conversational analytics adds ML.CORRELATION in preview
Conversational analytics can now use ML.CORRELATION to calculate statistical correlations between a target column and one or more metric columns in a table.
BigQuery ML.METRICS evaluates predictions without a stored model
The preview ML.METRICS function computes classification or regression evaluation metrics on any table or query with actual and predicted values, with no need to create or reference a stored model.
You can use the AI.CAUSAL_EFFECT function to quantify the impact of specific interventions on time series data
You can use the AI.CAUSAL_EFFECT function to quantify the impact of specific interventions on time series data. This feature is in Preview .
BigQuery Data Engineering Agent integrates with BigQuery Graph
The Data Engineering Agent now uses BigQuery Graph for extra context between source and destination schemas, improving schema mapping accuracy in data engineering pipelines. It is generally available.
Using dbt artifacts for Slim CI and defer to production in dbt Projects on Snowflake (General availability)
Slim CI, defer to production, failed-execution recovery, and concurrent execution are now generally available for dbt Projects on Snowflake. Reuse dbt artifacts from recent production executions to accelerate development, streamline CI/CD workflows, and recover from failed production runs without maintaining a separate artifact store.
External secret providers (Preview)
External secret providers are now in preview. If your organization already keeps API keys, database passwords, and similar values in AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or Google Cloud Secret Manager, Snowflake can read those values when a query needs them, so you don't have to maintain a second copy in a Snowflake secret .

GitHub Copilot is now available in the AI SDK harness layer
The AI SDK harness layer now supports GitHub Copilot through the official @ai-sdk/harness-github-copilot adapter. The harness layer lets your application run different coding agents through the same HarnessAgent interface, so you can switch agents without changing your application code.
Build with OpenAI Agents API on Vercel
You can now build and deploy long-running, tool-using agents with the OpenAI Agents API on Vercel. OpenAI manages the agent loop and session state, while Vercel hosts the application and connects each session to Vercel Sandbox for code execution and file access.
Vercel Sandbox is now available in all regions
Vercel Sandbox can now run in all 20 Vercel compute regions , up from four. Running sandboxes closer to the databases, storage, and other services they access reduces latency. Teams can also keep sandbox workloads in approved regions to support data residency and regional processing requirements. iad1 remains the default region.
Vercel Sandbox now provides 64 GB of storage
Every Vercel Sandbox now includes 64 GB of storage, up from 32 GB. This includes sandboxes created from a Vercel Managed Image or custom image, as well as those configured with the deprecated runtime property.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash now available on AI Gateway
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is now available on AI Gateway with native image understanding. V4.1 Flash has vision support and accepts text and images in the same request, so you can ask questions about screenshots, read charts, and extract information from visual content.
Persistent memory for eve agents
eve agents can now retain context across sessions and use it in future conversations. Persistent memory is organized into slots. You can define named slots in files under agent/memory/ . Each slot specifies a provider, which stores and retrieves the memory, and a scope, which determines who or what shares it.
Vercel Sandbox routing is now 18x faster globally
Requests to Vercel Sandbox public domains are now routed 18x faster. Domains created with the sandbox.domain() SDK call are now resolved from the nearest regional replica, instead of a single centralized store. Incoming requests reach the process running in the sandbox with less latency. Median domain lookup latency dropped from 62ms to 3.4ms (18x faster).
GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst now available on AI Gateway
GPT Image 2.5 Flare and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst from OpenAI are now available on AI Gateway. Both models accept text prompts and reference images for generation and editing.
