When serving interactive LLM workloads that require low latency, optimizing throughput is not enough. Better overall throughput via large batches are incompatible with interactive workloads, while fully interactive workloads lead to poor utilization of GPU resources. Read about how Snowflake's AI Research team shares their unique approach to handling both high throughput and low latency tasks efficiently on GPU machines.

Yesterday’s Snowflake User Group Meetup in Singapore was a full house. 💯 We talked about the main steps of building, deploying and iterating an end-to-end ML pipeline in Snowflake and dbt. Thank you, Michael Han, Jing Yu Lim and Nhat Nguyen, for sharing valuable tips and best practices via presentation and demo. We also heard from Grab, whose data reconciliation efforts have already paid off, speeding up processing x4 and getting costs down by a whopping 50%. 🤯 Looking forward to the next meetup edition. Drop us a line if you are looking to capitalise on your data. We know how to help. #SnowflakeUsers #Singapore #SnowflakeDataCloud

I am excited to go to the #datacloudsummit this week. It will be my first industry event as the CMO of Protegrity and it is fitting that Snowflake is the host. They are leaders in enabling their customers to get more from their #data and we leaders in #datasecurity. A good partnership is win-win for all. We offer: Native Protector Integration: Protegrity has been a native protector for Snowflake since 2020. This means they were one of the early companies to integrate a native data protection solution specifically for Snowflake. The Protegrity and Snowflake joint solution enables fine-grain data protection, allowing customers to move data freely into Snowflake’s Data Cloud while supporting cross-border and data sovereignty requirements. The result? Snowflake customers get enhanced data protection for cloud migration, integration with data governance tools like Collibra, and the ability to leverage sensitive data for advanced analytics and AI. Protegrity's centralized policy management and support for hybrid environments are also key benefits.
