Snowflake reveals next-gen AI and data tools at annual summit to empower enterprises
AI data cloud company Snowflake, which is hosting its annual four-day Snowflake Summit in San Francisco, has made a slew of announcements related to product innovations. The latest announcements range from data engineering, compute performance, and analytics to agentic AI capabilities. With these, the company aims to break down data silos and bridge the gap between enterprise data and business action. And, all this without compromising control, simplicity, or governance. The new announcements include Snowflake OpenFlow, Snowflake Standard Warehouse – Generation 2, Snowflake Adaptive Compute, Snowflake Intelligence, Snowflake Cortex AISQL, and Cortex Knowledge Extensions. Talking about the announcements, Vijayant Rai, managing director – India, Snowflake, said, 'With our latest announcements, we're showcasing how Snowflake is fundamentally redefining what organisations can expect from a modern data platform.' Rai added that these innovations are focused on helping businesses make AI and machine learning workflows easier, connected, and trusted for users of all abilities by democratising access to data and eliminating the technical overhead that slows down business decision-making. Snowflake OpenFlow is a multi-modal data ingestion service that allows users to connect to virtually any data source and derive value from any data infrastructure. It is now generally available on AWS, and it eliminates fragmented data stacks and manual labour by combining various types of data and formats, allowing customers to rapidly deploy AI-powered innovations. When it comes to Snowflake Standard Warehouse – Generation 2 and Snowflake Adaptive Compute, the AI data company has introduced the next phase of compute innovations with a focus on delivering faster performance, enhanced usability, and stronger price-performance value. The Standard Warehouse – Generation 2 is now generally available and is essentially an enhanced version of Snowflake's virtual Standard Warehouse with next-gen hardware and some additional enhancements to offer exceptionally faster analytics performance. On the other hand, Snowflake Intelligence (public review soon) allows technical and non-technical users to ask questions in natural language and instantly gain actionable insights from both structured and unstructured tables or documents. The company has said that Snowflake Intelligence is powered by state-of-the-art language models from the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic, and it is backed by Cortex Agents under the hood, which is delivered through an intuitive, no-code interface that helps provide transparency and explainability. The company also introduced Data Science Agent (private preview soon), an agentic companion that enhances the productivity of data scientists by automating routine ML model development tasks. The Data Science Agent uses Anthropic's Claude to break down problems related to ML workflows into easy steps like data analysis, data preparation, feature engineering, and training. Another highlight is the Cortex AISQL and SnowConvert AI as an expansion to Snowflake Cortex AI, which is the company's suite of enterprise-grade AI capabilities. These could enable global organisations to modernise their data analytics to align with the present-day AI landscape. SnowConvert AI is an agentic automation solution that accelerates migration from legacy platforms to Snowflake. Meanwhile, Cortex AISQL brings generative AI directly into the customer's query engines, allowing teams to extract insights across multi-modal data and build a flexible AI pipeline using SQL. Among the slew of agentic products on Snowflake Marketplace are the Cortex Knowledge extensions, which allow enterprises to augment their AI apps and agents with proprietary unstructured data from third-party providers.

2,500 job rejections despite coding expertise, advanced degrees: Techie working at gas station exposes job market's harsh reality
In today's highly competitive job landscape, even highly educated and technically skilled professionals are finding it nearly impossible to land a stable position. One software developer's story, recently shared on Reddit, has resonated deeply with thousands online, highlighting just how unforgiving the job market has become—even for those with advanced degrees, certifications, and real-world experience. A software developer with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mathematics has shared their frustration online after facing over 2,500 job rejections in just a year and a half. Despite holding professional experience, multiple programming skills, and a recognized cloud certification, the job seeker has been unable to secure a stable role in tech. The developer, who posted anonymously on Reddit, explained that they have two years of professional experience and are proficient in Python, JavaScript, ReactJS, TypeScript, and Java. They also have experience working with both SQL and NoSQL databases, building backend APIs, and handling full-stack development. To bolster their resume, they hold an AWS certification. Stuck In A Survival Job Due to the prolonged unemployment, the applicant has been forced to work at a gas station, describing the working conditions as stressful and demoralizing. "I can't eat while on shift because you get interrupted every 30 seconds," they said, describing an incident where a co-worker showed up over an hour late, leaving them stuck at work. Despite sending out thousands of applications and making it to the final round six times, they have been repeatedly rejected. 'I know I can do the job,' they wrote. 'I know I am good and I know I can excel if hired.' Their situation has become more difficult due to financial strain. The user shared that they are unable to move to a more affordable apartment because they cannot meet the income requirements, despite working and applying for jobs consistently. Other Echo Similar Struggles The post struck a chord with many others across Reddit who are facing similar challenges. One commenter revealed they have been unemployed for 18 months, filed for bankruptcy, and have submitted over 6,000 applications—despite having a Ph.D. in a STEM field. Another shared that they used to be a professor with a Ph.D. in Molecular Microbiology but has been without income since 2018. A former linguistics academic stated that despite reaching multiple final rounds, they continue to be rejected, calling the market "brutal." One user wrote they have been applying for five and a half years with no success and are now filing for disability due to declining health. Others detailed years of job hunting , only to be met with ghosting, hiring freezes, and budget cuts. Even highly educated professionals shared stories of taking minimum-wage jobs in supermarkets and security roles, often dealing with toxic work environments and financial instability. The original poster noted they have already revised their resume over ten times and had it reviewed by professionals. They've tailored it for specific roles and have received interview calls, suggesting that the issue lies more with market conditions and less with their application materials. Many commenters echoed this sentiment, noting that hiring is often based on luck, internal company referrals, and being in the right place at the right time. Looking beyond traditional roles Several users encouraged the developer to consider roles outside traditional software positions—such as teaching in bootcamps, contracting through agencies, or even pivoting to non-tech work. However, the job seeker replied that many of these roles require senior-level experience, which limits their chances, even though their skills are closer to mid-level. 'I'm not unwilling—I just need someone to give me a chance,' they wrote. The broader tone of the thread reflected growing disillusionment with the job market. Commenters described feelings of despair, worthlessness, and frustration with systemic barriers.
