Nov 04, 2025: Cortex AI Functions (General availability)

Snowflake announces the general availability of Cortex AI Functions, delivering production-ready AI capabilities within the Snowflake SQL engine.

Cortex Functions give you the ability to unify structured and unstructured analytics within a single platform and accelerate intelligent application development. With AI Functions, you can build scalable, multimodal AI pipelines that run entirely inside Snowflake, enabling text, image, audio, and video intelligence without external services or data movement.

Four Cortex AI Functions, previously available in preview, become generally available today:

  • AI_CLASSIFY：根据纯语言类别定义，将文本或图像输入分类为单个或多个用户定义的类别。

  • AI_TRANSCRIBE：转录存储在暂存区中的音频和视频文件，提取文本、时间戳及说话者信息。请参阅单独的 AI_TRANSCRIBE 公告，以查看新增内容。

  • AI_EMBED：为文本或图像输入生成嵌入向量，该向量可用于相似性搜索、聚类及分类任务。

  • AI_SIMILARITY：计算两项输入之间的嵌入相似度，而不需要显式创建嵌入向量。

These functions join three Cortex AI Functions that were already generally available:

  • AI_TRANSLATE：使用最先进的语言模型将文本从一种语言翻译成另一种语言。

  • AI_EXTRACT：根据用户定义的提取指令从文本、文档和图像中提取信息。

  • AI_SENTIMENT：分析文本中的整体情绪和类别情绪。
