Official Snowflake overview of ML Functions capabilities.

Key facts surfaced (2026-05-19):

• Four ML function types: Forecasting, Anomaly Detection, Classification, Top Insights.
• No specialized ML expertise required — SQL-accessible.
• Costs include: storage (model instance storage) + compute (training and prediction).
• Note: Search confirmed no standalone "Attribution" ML function exists; attribution is handled via Shapley value methods in Model Explainability, not a separate ML function.
• Curriculum reference: composable CDP equivalent of AEP Intelligent Services suite (Module 5).
