We are happy to announce that Fabric 8.2.0 has just been released and it includes the following:
- Pre-integrated GenAI technology, leading to a wider range of product capabilities, such as:
- LLM-based Catalog profiling as a way to identify classification of data using an LLM model.
- AI Assistant for SQL statements – a built-in AI Assistant within the Query Builder editors, for an effortless creation of SQL statements by simply describing queries in natural language.
- Broadway Co-pilot is an AI-based Broadway capability, which searches for required actors
using natural language rather than standard key words.
- Fabric's Catalog have been upgraded to perform discovery based on user-defined rules. The new Discovery Pipeline screen facilitates the creation of rules that allow overriding the product baseline.
- Data Masking Consistency Using Seed, which ensures referential integrity without the need to save the mapping between the hashed original value and the masked value in the caching table.
- A centralized Catalog can now be used across multiple Fabric instances (clusters).
