About this video
Snowflake stores rows. But 80% of your data is unstructured — videos, images, PDFs, audio. Your warehouse can't even open a video. Here's how a multimodal data warehouse works: 1. Decompose — 17 extractors break one file into searchable features 2. Store — 4 tiers from hot vector DB to cold archive 3. Reassemble — multi-stage retrieval pipelines compose results Decompose. Store. Reassemble. That's the whole warehouse. See the architecture: mixpeek.com #DataWarehouse #MultimodalAI #AI #MachineLearning #UnstructuredData #VectorSearch #DataEngineering
