DCM Projects: New capabilities (Preview)

Snowflake expands DCM Projects with preview support for PLAN DELTA, Python and Java functions and procedures, and declarative ATTACH TAG assignments for managed entities and table or view columns.
DCM Projects now supports the following capabilities in preview:

PLAN DELTA: A faster variant of PLAN that only evaluates definitions that changed since the last deployment, and any downstream definitions that depend on them. Use it during active development for faster feedback on incremental changes, but always run a full PLAN to review all changes before deploying.

Python and Java functions and procedures: DEFINE FUNCTION and DEFINE PROCEDURE now support Python and Java handlers, in addition to SQL.

ATTACH TAG: Declaratively assign Snowflake object tags, including to table and view columns, to any DCM Projects-managed entity. DCM Projects reconciles the declared tag assignments on every deployment.

Snowflake Data Clean Rooms updates

Snowflake improves Data Clean Rooms with better error handling in COLLABORATION.RUN, stronger register_code_spec validation for Python artifacts and ML jobs, and general performance and bug fixes.
The following new features and enhancements are now available in Snowflake Data Clean Rooms:

Improved error handling in COLLABORATION.RUN: Previously, errors that occurred when using a hardcoded source table in template runs were incorrectly classified as replication lag issues. These errors are now correctly identified and reported.

Improved validation in register_code_spec: When registering a Python artifact or ML job, the stage must use SNOWFLAKE_SSE encryption. The system now validates this at registration time and returns a clear error message, avoiding failures at runtime.

General performance improvements and bug fixes.

AI_TRANSCRIBE now supports AAC audio files

Snowflake Cortex AI_TRANSCRIBE now supports AAC audio and video tracks, making it easier to transcribe more real-world recordings.

Snowflake Cortex AI_TRANSCRIBE now supports AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) input, both as a standalone audio file and as the audio track inside a supported video file. Because AAC is one of the most widely used audio codecs across podcasts, streaming, and video pipelines, you can now transcribe a wider range of real-world recordings directly in Snowflake, without first converting them to another format.

CREATE OR ALTER is generally available for 24 object types

Snowflake adds generally available CREATE OR ALTER for 24 object types, simplifying safe re-runs in declarative deployments and CI/CD.

CREATE OR ALTER is now generally available for 24 object types. CREATE OR ALTER creates an object if it doesn't exist, or modifies an existing object to match the statement definition. It's especially useful in declarative deployment workflows and CI/CD pipelines where the same script must be safe to re-run.

Snowpark Container Services backup instance types (Public preview)

Snowflake adds backup instance types for compute pools to automatically retry provisioning when capacity is unavailable.

Cloud capacity isn't always guaranteed. When a compute pool's instance type is unavailable, provisioning fails with an insufficient capacity error (ICE), leaving the pool unable to scale. Previously, resolving an ICE required manually switching the pool to a different instance type. Backup instance types remove that manual step: you specify an ordered list of fallback instance families, and Snowflake automatically retries provisioning using the backup families in the order you specify.

Deep Research in Snowflake CoWork (General availability)

Snowflake CoWork now generally available Deep Research for multi-step data investigations with traceable, source-backed reports.

Deep Research in Snowflake CoWork is now generally available. Deep Research is an investigation mode for complex, open-ended questions that require multi-step reasoning across your data. Instead of returning a single result, Snowflake CoWork decomposes the question into multiple sub-investigations, runs them in parallel across your structured and unstructured data, and synthesizes the findings into a structured report. Every claim in the report is traced back to its source data and queries, so you can verify the reasoning and share results with confidence.
