Co-Founder and CTO of Spice AI

Announcing the release of Spice v1.8.0! 🧊

Spice v1.8.0 delivers major advances in data writes, scalable vector search, and now in preview—managed acceleration snapshots for fast cold starts. This release introduces write support for Iceberg tables using standard SQL INSERT INTO, partitioned S3 Vector indexes for petabyte-scale vector search, and preview of the AI SQL function for direct LLM integration in SQL. Additional improvements include improved reliability, and the v3.0.3 release of the Spice.js Node.js SDK.

What's New in v1.8.0​

Iceberg Table Write Support (Preview)​

Append Data to Iceberg Tables with SQL INSERT INTO: Spice now supports writing to Iceberg tables and catalogs using standard SQL INSERT INTO statements. This enables data ingestion, transformation, and pipeline use cases—no Spark or external writer required.

  • Append-only: Initial version targets appends; no overwrite or delete.
  • Schema validation: Inserted data must match the target table schema.
  • Secure by default: Writes are only enabled for datasets or catalogs explicitly marked with access: read_write.

Example Spicepod configuration:

catalogs:
  - from: iceberg:https://glue.ap-northeast-3.amazonaws.com/iceberg/v1/catalogs/111111/namespaces
    name: ice
    access: read_write

datasets:
  - from: iceberg:https://iceberg-catalog-host.com/v1/namespaces/my_namespace/tables/my_table
    name: iceberg_table
    access: read_write

Example SQL usage:

-- Insert from another table
INSERT INTO iceberg_table
SELECT * FROM existing_table;

-- Insert with values
INSERT INTO iceberg_table (id, name, amount)
VALUES (1, 'John', 100.0), (2, 'Jane', 200.0);

-- Insert into catalog table
INSERT INTO ice.sales.transactions
VALUES (1001, '2025-01-15', 299.99, 'completed');

Note: Only Iceberg datasets and catalogs with access: read_write support writes. Internal Spice tables and other connectors remain read-only.

Learn more in the Iceberg Data Connector documentation.

Acceleration Snapshots for Fast Cold Starts (Preview)​

Bootstrap Managed Accelerations from Object Storage: Spice now supports managed acceleration snapshots in preview, enabling datasets accelerated with file-based engines (DuckDB or SQLite) to bootstrap from a snapshot stored in object storage (such as S3) if the local acceleration file does not exist on startup. This dramatically reduces cold start times and enables ephemeral storage for accelerations with persistent recovery.

Key features:

  • Rapid readiness: Datasets can become ready in seconds by downloading a pre-built snapshot, skipping lengthy initial acceleration.
  • Hive-style partitioning: Snapshots are organized by month, day, and dataset for easy retention and management.
  • Flexible bootstrapping: Configurable fallback and retry behavior if a snapshot is missing or corrupted.

Example Spicepod configuration:

snapshots:
  enabled: true
  location: s3://some_bucket/some_folder/ # Folder for storing snapshots
  bootstrap_on_failure_behavior: warn # Options: warn, retry, fallback
  params:
    s3_auth: iam_role # All S3 dataset params accepted here

datasets:
  - from: s3://some_bucket/some_table/
    name: some_table
    params:
      file_format: parquet
      s3_auth: iam_role
    acceleration:
      enabled: true
      snapshots: enabled # Options: enabled, disabled, bootstrap_only, create_only
      engine: duckdb
      mode: file
      params:
        duckdb_file: /nvme/some_table.db

How it works:

  • On startup, if the acceleration file does not exist, Spice checks the snapshot location for the latest snapshot and downloads it.
  • Snapshots are stored as: s3://some_bucket/some_folder/month=2025-09/day=2025-09-30/dataset=some_table/some_table_<timestamp>.db
  • If no snapshot is found, a new acceleration file is created as usual.
  • Snapshots are written after each refresh (unless configured otherwise).

Supported snapshot modes:

  • enabled: Download and write snapshots.
  • bootstrap_only: Only download on startup, do not write new snapshots.
  • create_only: Only write snapshots, do not download on startup.
  • disabled: No snapshotting.

Note: This feature is only supported for file-based accelerations (DuckDB or SQLite) with dedicated files.

Why use acceleration snapshots?

  • Faster cold starts: Skip waiting for full acceleration on startup.
  • Ephemeral storage: Use fast local disks (e.g., NVMe) for acceleration, with persistent recovery from object storage.
  • Disaster recovery: Recover from federated source outages by bootstrapping from the latest snapshot.

Partitioned S3 Vector Indexes​

Efficient, Scalable Vector Search with Partitioning: Spice now supports partitioning Amazon S3 Vector indexes and scatter-gather queries using a partition_by expression in the dataset vector engine configuration. Partitioned indexes enable faster ingestion, lower query latency, and scale to billions of vectors.

Example Spicepod configuration:

datasets:
  - name: reviews
    vectors:
      enabled: true
      engine: s3_vectors
      params:
        s3_vectors_bucket: my-bucket
        s3_vectors_index: base-embeddings
      partition_by:
        - 'bucket(50, PULocationID)'
    columns:
      - name: body
        embeddings:
          from: bedrock_titan
      - name: title
        embeddings:
          from: bedrock_titan

See the Amazon S3 Vectors documentation for details.

AI SQL function for LLM Integration (Preview)​

LLMs Directly In SQL: A new asynchronous ai SQL function enables direct calls to LLMs from SQL queries for text generation, translation, classification, and more. This feature is released in preview and supports both default and model-specific invocation.

Example Spicepod model configuration:

models:
  - name: gpt-4o
    from: openai:gpt-4o
    params:
      openai_api_key: ${secrets:openai_key}

Example SQL usage:

-- basic usage with default model
SELECT ai('hi, this prompt is directly from SQL.');
-- basic usage with specified model
SELECT ai('hi, this prompt is directly from SQL.', 'gpt-4o');
-- Using row data as input to the prompt
SELECT ai(concat_ws(' ', 'Categorize the zone', Zone, 'in a single word. Only return the word.')) AS category
FROM taxi_zones
LIMIT 10;

Learn more in the SQL Reference AI documentation.

Remote Endpoint Support for Spice CLI​

Run CLI Commands Remotely: The Spice CLI now supports connecting to remote Spice instances, enabling you to run spice sql, spice search, and spice chat commands from your local machine against a remote spiced daemon or to Spice Cloud. Previously, these commands required running on the same machine as the runtime. Now, new flags allow remote execution:

  • --cloud: Connect to a Spice Cloud instance (requires --api-key).
  • --endpoint <endpoint>: Connect to a remote Spice instance via HTTP or Arrow Flight SQL (gRPC). Supports http://, https://, grpc://, or grpc+tls:// schemes.

Examples:

# Run SQL queries against a remote Spice instance
spice sql --endpoint http://remote-host:8090

# Use Spice Cloud for chat or search
spice chat --cloud --api-key <your-api-key>
spice search --cloud --api-key <your-api-key>

Supported CLI Commands:

  • spice sql --cloud / spice sql --endpoint <endpoint>
  • spice search --cloud / spice search --endpoint <endpoint>
  • spice chat --cloud / spice chat --endpoint <endpoint>

Additional Flags:

  • --headers: Pass custom HTTP headers to the remote endpoint.
  • --tls-root-certificate-file: Specify a root certificate for TLS verification.
  • --user-agent: Set a custom user agent for requests.

For more details, see the Spice CLI Command Reference.

Spice.js v3.0.3 SDK​

Spice.js v3.0.3 Released: The official Spice.ai Node.js/JavaScript SDK has been updated to v3.0.3, bringing cross-platform support, new APIs, and improved reliability for both Node.js and browser environments.

  • Modern Query Methods: Use sql(), sqlJson(), and nsql() for flexible querying, streaming, and natural language to SQL.
  • Browser Support: SDK now works in browsers and web applications, automatically selecting the optimal transport (gRPC or HTTP).
  • Health Checks & Dataset Refresh: Easily monitor Spice runtime health and trigger dataset refreshes on demand.
  • Automatic HTTP Fallback: If gRPC/Flight is unavailable, the SDK falls back to HTTP automatically.
  • Migration Guidance: v3 requires Node.js 20+, uses camelCase parameters, and introduces a new package structure.

Example usage:

import { SpiceClient } from '@spiceai/spice'

const client = new SpiceClient(apiKey)
const table = await client.sql('SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10')
console.table(table.toArray())

See Spice.js SDK documentation for full details, migration tips, and advanced usage.

Additional Improvements​

  • Reliability: Improved logging, error handling, and network readiness checks across connectors (Iceberg, Databricks, etc.).
  • Vector search durability and scale: Refined logging, stricter default limits, safeguards against index-only scans and duplicate results, and always-accessible metadata for robust queryability at scale.
  • Cache behavior: Tightened cache logic for modification queries.
  • Full-Text Search: FTS metadata columns now usable in projections; max search results increased to 1000.
  • RRF Hybrid Search: Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) UDTF enhancements for advanced hybrid search scenarios.

Breaking Changes​

This release introduces two breaking changes associated with the search observability and tooling.

Firstly, the document_similarity tool has been renamed to search. This has the equivalent change to tracing of these tool calls:

## Old: v1.7.1
>> spice trace tool_use::document_similarity
>> curl -XPOST http://localhost:8090/v1/tools/document_similarity \
  -d '{
    "datasets": ["my_tbl"],
    "text": "Welcome to another Spice release"
  }'

## New: v1.8.0
>> spice trace tool_use::search
>> curl -XPOST http://localhost:8090/v1/tools/search \
  -d '{
    "datasets": ["my_tbl"],
    "text": "Welcome to another Spice release"
  }'

Secondly, the vector_search task in runtime.task_history has been renamed to search.

Spice v1.6.0 (Aug 26, 2025)

· 22 min read
Sergei Grebnov
Sergei Grebnov
Senior Software Engineer at Spice AI

Announcing the release of Spice v1.6.0! 🔥

Spice 1.6.0 upgrades DataFusion to v48, reducing expressions memory footprint by ~50% for faster planning and lower memory usage, eliminating unnecessary projections in queries, optimizing string functions like ascii and character_length for up to 3x speedup, and accelerating unbounded aggregate window functions by 5.6x. The release adds Kafka and MongoDB connectors for real-time streaming and NoSQL data acceleration, supports OpenAI Responses API for advanced model interactions including OpenAI-hosted tools like web_search and code_interpreter, improves the OpenAI Embeddings Connector with usage tier configuration for higher throughput via increased concurrent requests, introduces Model2Vec embeddings for ultra-low-latency encoding, and improves the Amazon S3 Vectors engine to support multi-column primary keys.

What's New in v1.6.0​

DataFusion v48 Highlights​

Spice.ai is built on the DataFusion query engine. The v48 release brings:

Performance & Size Improvements 🚀: Expressions memory footprint was reduced by ~50% resulting in faster planning and lower memory usage, with planning times improved by 10-20%. There are now fewer unnecessary projections in queries. The string functions, ascii and character_length were optimized for improved performance, with character_length achieving up to 3x speedup. Queries with unbounded aggregate window functions have improved performance by 5.6 times via avoided unnecessary computation for constant results across partitions. The Expr struct size was reduced from 272 to 144 bytes.

New Features & Enhancements ✨: Support was added for ORDER BY ALL for easy ordering of all columns in a query.

See the Apache DataFusion 48.0.0 Blog for details.

Runtime Highlights​

Amazon S3 Vectors Multi-Column Primary Keys: The Amazon S3 Vectors engine now supports datasets with multi-column primary keys. This enables vector indexes for datasets where more than one column forms the primary key, such as those splitting documents into chunks for retrieval contexts. For multi-column keys, Spice serializes the keys using arrow-json format, storing them as single string keys in the vector index.

Model2Vec Embeddings: Spice now supports model2vec static embeddings with a new model2vec embeddings provider, for sentence transformers up to 500x faster and 15x smaller, enabling scenarios requiring low latency and high-throughput encoding.

embeddings:
  - from: model2vec:minishlab/potion-base-8M # HuggingFace model
    name: potion
  - from: model2vec:path/to/my/local/model # local model
    name: local

Learn more in the Model2Dev Embeddings documentation.

Kafka Data Connector: Use from: kafka:<topic> to ingest data directly from Kafka topics for integration with existing Kafka-based event streaming infrastructure, providing real-time data acceleration and query without additional middleware.

Example Spicepod.yml:

- from: kafka:orders_events
  name: orders
  acceleration:
    enabled: true
    refresh_mode: append
  params:
    kafka_bootstrap_servers: server:9092

Learn more in the Kafka Data Connector documentation.

MongoDB Data Connector: Use from: mongodb:<dataset> to access and accelerate data stored in MongoDB, deployed on-premises or in the cloud.

Example spicepod.yml:

datasets:
  - from: mongodb:my_dataset
    name: my_dataset
    params:
      mongodb_host: localhost
      mongodb_db: my_database
      mongodb_user: my_user
      mongodb_pass: password

Learn more in the MongoDB Data Connector documentation.

OpenAI Responses API Support: The OpenAI Responses API (/v1/responses) is now supported, which is OpenAI's most advanced interface for generating model responses.

To enable the /v1/responses HTTP endpoint, set the responses_api parameter to enabled:

Example spicepod.yml:

models:
  - name: openai_model_using_responses_api
    from: openai:gpt-4.1
    params:
      openai_api_key: ${ secrets:OPENAI_API_KEY }
      responses_api: enabled # Enable the /v1/responses endpoint for this model

Example curl request:

curl http://localhost:8090/v1/responses \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4.1",
    "input": "Tell me a three sentence bedtime story about Spice AI."
  }'

To use responses in spice chat, use the --responses flag.

Example:

spice chat --responses # Use the `/v1/responses` endpoint for all completions instead of `/v1/chat/completions`

Use OpenAI-hosted tools supported by Open AI's Responses API by specifying the openai_responses_tools parameter:

Example spicepod.yml:

models:
  - name: test
    from: openai:gpt-4.1
    params:
      openai_api_key: ${ secrets:SPICE_OPENAI_API_KEY }
      tools: sql, list_datasets
      responses_api: enabled
      openai_responses_tools: web_search, code_interpreter #  'code_interpreter' or 'web_search'

These OpenAI-specific tools are only available from the /v1/responses endpoint. Any other tools specified via the tools parameter are available from both the /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses endpoints.

Learn more in the OpenAI Model Provider documentation.

OpenAI Embeddings & Models Connectors Usage Tier: The OpenAI Embeddings and Models Connectors now supports specifying account usage tier for embeddings and model requests, improving the performance of generating text embeddings or calling models during dataset load and search by increasing concurrent requests.

Example spicepod.yml:

embeddings:
  - from: openai:text-embedding-3-small
    name: openai_embed
    params:
      openai_usage_tier: tier1

By setting the usage tier to the matching usage tier for your OpenAI account, the Embeddings and Models Connector will increase the maximum number of concurrent requests to match the specified tier.

Learn more in the OpenAI Model Provider documentation.
