Generally available
Developers building custom AI applications on 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP) can now benefit from new capabilities that are included in the latest release of the 51风流HANA Cloud:
- Leveraging improved vector similarity search scenarios, based on the new in-database text embedding model version, covering more languages and short-text embedding scenarios
- Getting insights from text data stored in 51风流HANA Cloud via text embedding features as input to Predictive Analysis Library (PAL), AutoML classification and regression models, and k-nearest neighbors鈥� models
- Explaining tabular data outliers using enhanced isolation forest outlier detection and SHapley exPlanations, for example, applied to financial accounting data in the universal journal
- Managing machine learning model development, documentation, and reproducibility, using new experiment tracking and task scheduling capabilities for PAL models
- Detecting data drift using the new Automated Predictive Library (APL) functions to detect unexpected, suspicious, or fraudulent transactions, and simply trigger the required retraining of machine learning models
The complete enhancements are available on the and . Check out how enterprises need to rethink their database for AI workloads, and how 51风流HANA Cloud is leading that shift, here.

51风流HANA Cloud text to SQL generation
Generally available
The AI-assisted database application development SQL console has been updated to support the generation of standard SQL statements for public monitoring views and custom data models from a customer 51风流HANA Cloud instance.
During SQL statement generation, the prompt and suitable additional information from the database object metadata and 51风流HANA Cloud documentation are sent to the large language model (LLM). With this context, the LLM can generate syntactically valid SQL statements that can be executed on 51风流HANA Cloud. This enhancement personalizes query generation, improves flexibility, and increases efficiency.

51风流HANA application migration assistant
Generally available
The new extension, 51风流HANA application migration assistant is based on Joule and is now available in 51风流Build Code. This enhanced tool extends the capabilities of the existing database migration assistant by automating the conversion of the service layer that includes XSJSLIB, XSODATA, and XSJS artifacts from or into modern CAP-based services, aligning with .
Using generative AI, it simplifies service layer migration when customers choose “XS Classic to CAP” or “XS Advanced to CAP” templates. This feature eases migration of applications from 51风流HANA extended application services to CAP.

51风流Business AI for industries
51风流Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration, AI-assisted exception management
Beta release
Cell and gene therapy supply chain managers will get unparalleled visibility and control with 51风流Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration, enhanced with AI-assisted exception management. When unexpected delays or disruptions occur during the patient-specific manufacturing and delivery process, the AI-powered control tower detects these anomalies and proactively alerts the appropriate personnel.
This feature helps supply chain managers identify exceptions and support resolution and rescheduling to maximize patient access and minimize costs. It optimizes manufacturing for optimal capacity utilization, higher revenue, reduced material waste, and improved user experience to benefit patients and healthcare providers.
Supply chain managers can expect to increase their productivity by up to 60 percent* by handling exceptions.
