Nov 14, 2025: Cortex Analyst Routing Mode (Preview)

Routing Mode is a query strategy that prioritizes semantic SQL and falls back to standard SQL only when needed. It acts as a simpler version of SQL, with guardrails provided by semantic views. Routing mode uses semantic views to drive higher accuracy and consistency. As a result, metrics, joins, and filters follow governed definitions from the semantic view.

Routing Mode offers the following benefits:

  • Consistent metrics: Queries use definitions from semantic views, not SQL.

  • Safer defaults: Dimensions, metrics, and joins come from governed metadata.

  • LLM-friendly: Shorter SQL is easier for an LLM to produce correctly.
