Why the models rank Snowflake Cortex Analyst — on best text-to-sql tool
“Best measured accuracy in the category when paired with its semantic model YAML (verified-query repository plus semantic grounding routinely beats generic LLM-over-schema approaches), fully managed inside Snowflake's security perimeter, and exposed as a simple REST API you can embed in Slack or internal apps; near-tie with Databricks Genie below — the winner is whichever warehouse you already run.”
