Snowflake's developer conference keynote was organized in three chapters: data architecture on your terms, enterprise AI and ML you can trust, and collaboration. Open Catalog and Iceberg streaming went GA, Document AI went GA, and Snowflake Intelligence was first shown as a platform for data agents, with hybrid tables GA on AWS as the closing news.
