Snowflake just told 20,000 people what the data cloud looks like next.
Buried under the agent headlines were three governance and cost moves worth your attention:
๐น Adaptive Compute that automatically resizes warehouses
๐น AI Security with built-in prompt-injection defense
๐น A semantic layer designed to stop five teams from arguing about one number
None of these will fix your Snowflake bill or governance challenges by themselves. They only create value when someone owns the configuration, controls, and accountability behind them.
So, which Summit announcement would actually move the needle for your Snowflake environment?
Cost, security, or the semantic layer?
