@dvellante@Snowflake Dave, some may say that Snowflake has been a system of intelligence from its onset. Now that it is leaning into agents heavily, it is moving to be the system of action. Agree that it needs to own the context layer to be successful in this space. That’s where the moat has moved.
Two pet peeves drove me to write the FAQ on #Metadata, #Semantics, #Taxonomy, #Ontology, #KnowledgeGraphs, and #Context. People treating "context" like AI agents invented it in January of this year. And experts explaining these concepts without examples.

Microsoft just made Fabric IQ's business ontology queryable by any AI agent via MCP — providing a new type of shared context layer.
Amir Netz, CTO of @Microsoft Fabric, reached for a film analogy to explain why the shared context layer matters.
"It's a little bit like the girl from 50 First Dates," Netz told VentureBeat. "Every morning they wake up and they forget everything and you have to explain it again. This is the explanation that you give them every morning."
oh and analysts have some questions...AND lots of insight in this one including @holgermu@SanjMo , @RobertKramer_Data , Devin Pratt

Thanks, Eric Avidon and @TechTargetNews , for capturing the vast set of announcements from Snowflake Build London so elegantly.
The already fast pace of innovation has accelerated further in just the first few weeks of 2026. A harbinger of what to expect for the rest of the year.
With new features such as an #AI powered code generator and automated #semantic modeling, @Snowlake is not only simplifying AI development but improving its competitive standing. Analysis from @wiliammcknight and @SanjMo.
