dbt Labs Redefines dbt with New Fusion Engine, Built to Revolutionize Developer Experience in the Age of AI
New engine enables faster analytics delivery, lower cloud costs, and trusted data pipelines built for AI at scale PHILADELPHIA, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- dbt Labs, the leader in standards for AI-ready structured data, today unveiled the new dbt Fusion engine, a monumental evolution of the technology that powers dbt. Fusion, built on Rust and equipped with native SQL comprehension, introduces a lightning-fast developer experience that delivers productivity, data velocity, and platform intelligence to drive substantial cost savings. dbt Labs also launched its VS Code extension, unlocking broad access to the power of Fusion for local developers, and is introducing a free, source-available version of the Fusion engine with a subset of features. These foundational enhancements, along with several others announced today and tailored to bring data analysts into the dbt workflow, will empower organizations to scale analytics in the age of AI. "AI is completely changing the way we interact with data, and dbt is in a prime position to drive the next phase of innovation in the market," said Tristan Handy, founder and CEO, dbt Labs. "Fusion is the most significant evolution of dbt in its history. It gives enterprise data teams the control, speed, and intelligence they need to scale analytics and AI responsibly while keeping costs down." Fusion Engine Brings SQL Comprehension to dbtThe dbt Fusion engine now powers the entire dbt platform, from the CLI that is in use by over 60,000 teams today, to dbt Orchestrator, Catalog, Studio, and the other commercial products powering dbt Labs' rapid growth. Fusion introduces powerful SQL comprehension and a host of other capabilities that collectively deliver a best-in-class developer experience, all while empowering organizations to operate with the highest quality, context-rich data while optimizing costs. New capabilities include lightning-fast parse times, up to 30x faster than dbt Core, allowing large dbt projects to execute in milliseconds instead of minutes. Instant feedback loops and live error detection now uncover and surface parse, compilation and logic errors as code is being written – and before running code against the warehouse – optimizing both developer efficiency and data platform costs. Fusion also brings state-awareness to dbt and with it, a new level of intelligence to how dbt orchestrates pipelines. With state-aware orchestration, available in beta for commercial customers running Fusion, dbt will automatically run jobs as soon as sources are fresh and limit builds to only the models that changed. This helps organizations save on data platform compute and maintain pipeline velocity. Early customer feedback indicates an average 10% cost savings as a result, with additional savings expected as Fusion matures. Organizations can validate these savings in the new cost management dashboard (in preview for Snowflake users), which offers visibility into costs at the warehouse, project, model, and environment level, helping to identify inefficiencies earlier. Other standout functionality includes: Powerful IntelliSense, which autocompletes SQL functions, model names, columns, macros and more; Instant refactoring to rename models or columns and see references update project-wide; Go-to-definition, allowing users to jump to definitions in a single click, a useful feature for large projects with many models and macros; Hover insights, which enable users to see context on tables, columns and functions without leaving code; Live CTE previews directly inside dbt models, for faster validating and debugging; Rich lineage, in context, allowing developers to see lineage at the column or table level as they develop, without breaking flow; and View compiled code, which gives a live view of the SQL code built by models, alongside dbt code. "The data team at Bilt is very excited to roll out the new dbt Fusion engine," said James Dorodo, VP of Data Analytics at Bilt Rewards. "The improvements it brings will address many of the pain points we currently face in our development cycle, and we believe it will provide a step function increase in our velocity." Multiple Paths to Fusion Engine AccessFusion is now available for eligible dbt projects on Snowflake, with support for Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift coming soon. dbt Labs is also introducing its VS Code extension, the sole way to access the full power of the Fusion engine while developing locally. Now, wherever developers are doing their work, they can do so backed by Fusion. The VS Code extension is downloadable now from the VS Code Marketplace. In addition, dbt Labs is making a subset of Fusion's capabilities broadly available via a new source-available license. This will provide users in the dbt community free access to Fusion's robust developer experience features. AI Adoption Drives The Need For More Quality Data and Unified StandardsA major disruption is underway in analytics, driven by and in service to AI. According to the latest State of Analytics Engineering report, organizations rank AI at the top of their budget priority lists. As these investments grow, the pressure on data teams to deliver trustworthy, contextual data – and a scalable AI strategy – has never been greater. Yet inconsistent standards and fragmented workflows often result in a lack of a single source of truth, making it difficult to scale AI initiatives responsibly. To address this challenge, dbt Labs launched the dbt MCP server, leveraging Model Context Protocol to enable seamless, universal connectivity between AI systems and the governed, structured data in dbt. As the standard for creating governed, trustworthy datasets on top of structured data, dbt unifies models, metrics, documentation, and testing into one collaborative environment. The dbt MCP server gives business users the confidence that all AI endpoints are fueled by context-rich, reliable data, no matter how the AI stack evolves. "dbt Labs' continuous investment in revolutionizing the developer experience aligns well with our commitment to giving customers the very best platform for all of their data engineering needs, with low costs and accelerated performance in the AI Data Cloud," said Chris Child, VP of Product, Data Engineering, Snowflake. "As more of our joint customers adopt AI across their businesses, we know these critical data initiatives require context to be successful. The dbt MCP server complements our investments in AI, and now, with the Fusion engine powering dbt, we're eager to see how much more productive and successful our joint customers will be." dbt Empowers Data Analysts with New FeaturesIn conjunction with the rollout of the Fusion engine, VS Code extension and dbt MCP server, dbt Labs launched a suite of new governed, accessible features designed to bring data analysts into the dbt workflow, including: dbt Canvas, a new AI-powered drag-and-drop visual editing experience that enables analysts less familiar with dbt or SQL to create new and edit existing dbt models within a governed environment. dbt Insights, a new AI-powered query interface that lets analysts perform ad-hoc analysis by asking questions about their data models in SQL or natural language and get answers faster, without waiting on engineering. Extending the functionality of dbt Catalog, formerly known as dbt Explorer, to include search and lineage for overall Snowflake assets alongside your dbt models, making it easier to explore your full data environment. Support for other data platforms is coming soon. These features expand the impact of dbt across the analytics workflow, empowering more collaborators to build, analyze, and explore the data they need, within a governed environment. By supporting governed, scalable self-service, teams reduce engineering bottlenecks, minimize security risks, cut compute costs, and ensure high quality data across their analytics workflow. "Fivetran and dbt have a long history of innovation and delivering on the promise of the modern data stack. With the launch of the dbt Fusion engine and dbt Labs' acquisition of SDF Labs, dbt Labs is accelerating what's possible with data and AI," said Taylor Brown, COO and co-founder, Fivetran. "We're excited to have SDF Labs co-founder Elias DeFaria join us at the Fivetran booth at Snowflake Summit next week to showcase the next wave of tooling." These new features will be the focus of dbt Labs' upcoming presences at Snowflake Summit (June 2-5, booth #1808) and Databricks Summit (June 9-12, booth #326). The dbt Labs team will be onsite at both industry events to discuss and demo the power of Fusion and these new capabilities.

‘Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed released from prison early
NEW YORK — 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been released from prison after spending more than a year behind bars for the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Prison records show Gutierrez-Reed was freed from the Western New Mexico Correctional Facility on Friday morning, having served about 13 months of her 18-month sentence. Sources told TMZ her early release was due to good behavior, specifically her completion of a drug program while behind bars. Hutchins was attending a rehearsal at New Mexico's Bonanza Creek Ranch on Oct. 21, 2021, when she was fatally shot by a prop gun handled by leading man Alec Baldwin. He'd been seated in a church pew, practicing a move in which he whips a pistol from its holster, when it suddenly went off. The 42-year-old cinematographer was pronounced dead a short time later, while director Joel Souza was also injured and transported to Christus St. Vincent's Regional Medical Center by ambulance. He was later released from the hospital. In March 2024, Gutierrez-Reed, who'd been tasked with overseeing weapons on the set of the Western flick, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Hutchins' death. An investigation into the matter determined she was likely hungover when she loaded the prop gun with live ammunition. Prosecutors alleged she'd been drinking heavily and doing drugs in the evenings after production wrapped. She was acquitted of a second charge of evidence tampering, which stemmed from allegations that she transferred a bag of cocaine to another person after the shooting. Gutierrez-Reed will remain supervised under terms of probation after pleading guilty to a separate charge of carrying a gun into a Santa Fe bar, where firearms are prohibited, in the weeks before filming began. Baldwin also faced an involuntary manslaughter charge in connection with Hutchins' death, but a judge dismissed the case in the middle of trial last summer due to prosecutorial misconduct and evidence suppression. ©2025 New York Daily News.

But game-makers say the "old-gen" version of Rust that was created for the PS4 and Xbox one is due to be taken down from online stores imminently That means from May 29, 2025, the game will no longer be available to download for new players. And the game will become totally unplayable after "the final wipe", which is scheduled for later this year. That means even owners of the game will be locked out. "Starting May 29, 2025, the old-gen version of the game will no longer be available in platform stores," said Rust official Pedro Silva. "If you already own it, you can keep playing until the final wipe, which will wrap up in October. "We're planning to make that one something special." TIME TO UPGRADE?
