If you've been involved with the Snowflake world, today's guest probably can skip an introduction as he is the demo king from the Snowflake Summit and well-known within the Snowflake builder community.

We're talking about Dash Desai, Developer Advocate at Snowflake. The background on this episode is that Sean's been part of the Snowflake Data Superhero Program and also involved in the community for a few years, and Sean has spoken at the last two Snowflake Summits. And after the past event in June, he got this idea that it might make for a fun podcast to go back through some of the announcements from the events and discuss what they might mean for those building with Snowflake, and maybe even get some of those building with Snowflake excited about it.

So even if you're not working with Snowflake, we keep things pretty high level during this interview. And we think there's probably something for everyone. Snowflake is clearly making this big push around supporting LLMs and generative AI workloads with things like Snowpark, containers, document AI and native support for NVIDIA NeMo and a bunch of other things that we get into today.

There's been a ton of announcements even since the Summit in this space with things that Snowflake is coming out with, and we'll cover some of that stuff down the road. Anyway, we hope you enjoy the show.
