September 12, 2024 — New Cortex LLM Function - CLASSIFY_TEXT — Preview¶

With this release, we are pleased to announce the preview of a new Snowflake Cortex LLM function, CLASSIFY_TEXT. This new Cortex LLM task-specific function gives you an easy way to label text records into categories that are relevant for your business.

The new CLASSIFY_TEXT function is managed by the Snowflake AI team to deliver state-of-the art text classification accuracy comparable to the most powerful models currently in the market. You can use CLASSIFY_TEXT to easily label text records such as emails, call transcripts, and product reviews for different categories that are relevant for your business. For example, you can label support tickets to automatically assign the support team based on the issue category. To easily integrate the results of CLASSIFY_TEXT into your data pipeline, the outputs generated are structured in JSON, without any additional post processing needed.

With the CLASSIFY_TEXT function, you can quickly and accurately label text records without the need for any prompt engineering, post processing or providing any examples.
