Tabular foundation model · How it works

Data

Informational documentation. This section explains how a tabular foundation model of the Data Language Model class works: what goes in, what comes out, and how results are evaluated. It is based on the paper Data Language Models: A New Foundation Model Class for Tabular Data (arXiv:2605.06290). It is reference material, not a hosted service: hosts such as api.example.com, keys, and ids are placeholders.

Data is one group covering connections and datasets, at /v2/data and on the platform's Data page. A connection is where data comes from. A dataset is an ingested or registered table. Each ingest or sync mints an immutable snapshot (dsv_...), which is what endpoints pin and held-out reports stamp.

Sources

Family Sources Ref shape
Upload CSV, Excel, JSON upload (platform), or inline tables in a request
Databases PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase, MongoDB, Databricks, Snowflake, Pinecone, Chroma postgres://..., snowflake://..., ...
Cloud storage Google Drive, GCP Storage, AWS S3 gdrive://..., gs://..., s3://...
API REST, GraphQL rest+https://..., graphql+https://...

Small files upload directly on the platform or travel inline as tables in a request. Everything else is a connection: registered once, referenced by id or scheme ref.

Register a connection

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/v2/data/connect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "source": "postgres://db.example.com:5432/crm/public/contacts",
        "name": "crm_contacts",
        "credentials": { "user": "reader", "password": "…" },
        "options": { "query": "select * from contacts where deleted_at is null" } }'

The response returns the connection (conn_...) and the dataset it produced (ds_...) with its first snapshot (dsv_...). A quick run uses it transiently and registers nothing new; endpoint creation pins it. GET /v2/data/:id returns the catalog profile: rows, columns, current snapshot, pin state, and which endpoints pin it. Full family: Data API.

Snapshots and sync

Every ingest and every POST /v2/data/:id/sync mints a new immutable dsv_.... Endpoints and reports reference the exact snapshot they ran on; an endpoint keeps serving its current snapshot until you refresh it, even after a sync has minted a newer one. Schedule syncs from your orchestrator, then refresh dependent endpoints (see Workflows and data stack).

Pinning

Pinning is a state on a registered dataset, set with POST /v2/data/:id/pin and /unpin.

An endpoint keeps serving its pinned snapshot until you refresh it.

Endpoint creation pins its datasets automatically. A dataset pinned by a live endpoint cannot be unpinned or deleted while that endpoint serves; the 409 names the dependent endpoint.

Batch and large runs

Batch is a service tier, elected per job with "options": { "processing": "batch" }. It applies to inference and synthetic generation.

http
POST /v2/run
{
  "data": ["snowflake://example/warehouse/events_2025"],
  "target": { "column": "converted" },
  "options": { "processing": "batch", "out": "warehouse://analytics.outputs" }
}

202 with a job. The bundle is written to out (a file or warehouse table) on completion, or retrievable from the job when out is omitted and the result fits. A job that misses its window expires unbilled and you resubmit.

Synthetic data

POST /v2/data/generate { "sector": "hospital operations", "rows": 5000, "name": "hospital_ops_synth" } produces a synthetic dataset for a sector with realistic per-column ranges, as an ordinary dataset you can run on, pin, or create an endpoint on. Useful when representative data is thin or as a safe test fixture. The response is the new dataset; large generations run as batch jobs. sector uses the same vocabulary the sector output returns; if unsure of the exact name, quick-run a small real table and use its sector.top1.name.

Persistence follows the operation

Operation Stored
run, endpoint calls No dataset is registered; submitted tables are used for the single pass and discarded. The run's job and run record remain visible in Jobs and Reports. Endpoint logs keep operation events, never row data.
Endpoint create, refresh, upgrade The pinned snapshots, the held-out report with its split seed and partition, the configuration and system prompts. Inline tables at creation become an upload-type dataset under Data.
Data connect, sync The dataset snapshot; connection credentials encrypted at rest, write-only.

Everything stored is visible under Data, deletable immediately, and counted toward storage. Residency and deployment options: Trust Center.

Deletion

Resource Policy
Datasets and connections DELETE /v2/data/:id is immediate and irreversible. A dataset pinned by a live endpoint is refused with 409 conflict naming the endpoint: delete the endpoint or refresh it onto other data first.
Endpoints Immediate on DELETE. Reports remain in the audit trail; its datasets remain under Data and are unpinned.
Reports Retained for the life of the org.
API keys Revoked immediately with DELETE /v2/keys/:id; the key stops working and leaves the listing.

To remove data and its influence entirely: remove the rows at source (or delete the dataset), sync, then refresh dependent endpoints. Purged rows leave the stored snapshot and the pinned context in one step. Data handling terms are in the DPA.

Credentials and audit

Connection credentials are encrypted at rest and are write-only; rotate by re-entering. The audit log records connection, sync, key, and deletion events with actor and timestamp.
