A single Microsoft Fabric Notebook deploys a 276M row solution to your Lakehouse with ELT Spark Notebooks, a Pipeline, a Direct Lake Semantic Model, & a Power BI report in less than an hour. The real open data from CMS is great for education and demos: github.com/isinghrana/fabric…

This morning, I was 𝐬𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐀𝐞𝐝 😲 (not kidding) to hear that there are consulting firms suggesting that data be moved out of semantic models to achieve a better consumption experience with LLMs. Really? What a lie. Don't listen to my words. I have a vested interest in Power BI semantic models. Hear what a lie this is, straight from Rob Collie in his podcast (linked below - if you don't have much time, go straight to 26:30). π‘‡β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ 𝑖𝑠 π‘›π‘œ π‘π‘’π‘‘π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿ π‘ π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘‘ π‘‘π‘Žπ‘‘π‘Ž π‘ π‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘π‘’ π‘œπ‘› π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘π‘™π‘Žπ‘›π‘’π‘‘ π‘›π‘œπ‘€ π‘œπ‘Ÿ 𝑖𝑛 π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘’π‘ π‘’π‘’π‘Žπ‘π‘™π‘’ π‘“π‘’π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿ π‘Žπ‘› 𝐿𝐿𝑀 π‘‘π‘œ π‘‘π‘Žπ‘™π‘˜ π‘‘π‘œ π‘‘β„Žπ‘Žπ‘› π‘Ž π‘ƒπ‘œπ‘€π‘’π‘Ÿ 𝐡𝐼 π‘ π‘’π‘šπ‘Žπ‘›π‘‘π‘–π‘ π‘šπ‘œπ‘‘π‘’π‘™. If you heard stories like "consulting firms suggesting to get all data out of Power BI semantic models", please write your story in the comments. I understand competition, but I cannot justify lying to customers. Rob Collie has already expressed my thoughts, so I don't need to add anything else; I agree with him. p3adaptive.com/rawdatapodcas…

Azure AI Foundry Agents can use natural language so that LLMs can query Microsoft Fabric Data Agents for good math over large data volumes, video to set up: youtu.be/yQkbd1f6JFk #MicrosoftFabric #AIFoundry #OpenAI #DataAgents

Omw to #FabCon to join ~6,500 others for 3 days to go deep into #MicrosoftFabric. For a product that's just 15 months post GA, it is crazy FabCon will be the second largest conference that Microsoft hosts this year. I had a chance to talk to @patrickdba and Swetha Mannepalli about how Fabric came about, including how we landed on the rights to the name OneLake πŸ˜€ youtu.be/_aueRDPpZHM?si=7I8g…
