GA Announcement of Snowpark Container Services and Full Integration into the Snowflake Native App Framework

Since its introduction in 2022, the Snowflake Native App Framework has provided a secure and cost-effective way to build and distribute data and AI products that seamlessly integrate with Snowflake. This platform allowed Kumo AI to invest in allowing our customers to deploy Kumo alongside their Snowflake data easily and securely. Now, Snowpark Container Services is generally available and fully integrated into the Snowflake Native App Framework for AWS customers and public preview for Microsoft Azure customers. General Availability gives users additional confidence that features, scalability, and security that were tested extensively during preview.

As a fully integrated Snowflake Native App, Kumo leverages Snowpark Container Services to enable customers to deploy Kumo directly in Snowflake without needing to move data or compromise data security. This seamless integration combines Kumo’s predictive AI capabilities with the scalability and security of the Data Cloud, empowering data scientists to build and operationalize predictive models faster and more effectively.

As organizations increasingly aim to optimize revenue-driving KPIs such as conversion rates, average cart size, and customer retention, they often face challenges in enhancing model accuracy and streamlining the prediction process. Kumo addresses these challenges by rapidly learning from data stored in Snowflake tables to deliver actionable predictions for applications like personalized recommendations and next-best-action strategies.

Kumo’s founding team recognized the need for simpler, more effective data access and model-building processes. The Snowflake Native App eliminates many traditional roadblocks, enabling a smoother path to high-performance models.

Kumo redefines how predictive models are created by bypassing manual feature engineering. Instead, Kumo uses graph transformer architecture and learns across all Snowflake data, quickly yielding predictive models with improved accuracy. This approach allows data scientists to answer business-critical questions in hours rather than months, driving closer alignment between data teams and the broader business.

Key Benefits of Kumo as a Snowflake Native App in Snowflake Marketplace

Build predictive AI in Snowflake

Bring the power of deep learning inside Snowflake to better use tabular, relational data for predictions. Combine Kumo with Cortex for superior predictive AI models. Existing Snowflake workloads like ETL and EDA and code can be reused to accelerate development.

Control all data inside Snowflake

When using Kumo in Snowflake, no data leaves the customer’s Snowflake environment. Data and artifacts generated by Kumo are stored securely within the customer’s Snowflake environment and adhere to Snowflake retention policies.

Retain Snowflake’s security, compliance, and governance

Because Kumo runs inside the customer’s Snowflake environment, it inherits all Snowflake security, governance rules, and capabilities like column and row level security. Data scientists can seamlessly integrate with existing Snowflake workflows and policies for managing data by directly using Snowflake as the data source and processing engine.

Simplify adoption

Snowflake customers can easily access Kumo in the Snowflake Marketplace and pay for it with Snowflake credits. Snowflake Single Sign-On (SSO) can be used for authentication and a 30-day trial is available to select Snowflake customers.

Improve model performance

Kumo improves prediction accuracy by eliminating hand-crafted feature engineering and instead learning embeddings directly from raw relational data, while providing advanced controls so the data scientist can add business value at each step.

Go from raw data to predictions

Deploy predictive AI in production. Kumo learns directly from your Snowflake data and uses AI to generate a model in hours, not months. Kumo’s automated pipelines keep models fresh so the AI always learns from the latest Snowflake tables.

With Kumo’s Snowflake Native App, organizations can harness the full power of AI to unlock valuable insights from their Snowflake data, enabling data-driven decision-making and more accurate forecasting. Together, Kumo and Snowflake offer a robust, streamlined solution for organizations eager to maximize their data’s potential through predictive AI.
