New dashboard breaks down Snowflake Cortex AI costs by product, agent, user, role, and model, pairing spend with performance in one view as Yuki extends its Snowflake Marketplace presenceNEW YORK, Sept. 01, 2026 <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com" target="_blank">(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)</a> -- Yuki, the real-time cost optimization platform for Snowflake and BigQuery environments, today announced the launch of the Yuki Cortex Control Center, a new dashboard that gives enterprises real-time visibility into what is driving their Snowflake Cortex AI spend. With the Cortex Control Center, teams can break down Cortex usage across agents, direct inference, SQL functions, Cortex Search, and coding tools, all billed from a single credit pool, down to the product, agent, user, role, or model responsible, and evaluate that spend alongside cost and latency performance in one place. "We're already live in the market with the Cortex Control Center, and the input we're getting from customers is going straight into the roadmap," said Amir Peres, CTO of Yuki. "Cortex spend is becoming Snowflake's next black box, and the fastest way to build the right answer is to put it in front of real teams and listen. This release reflects that feedback, and it won't be the last." The Black Box Problem Snowflake Cortex makes it easy to build AI into the data stack, but it also blends usage across models, applications, users, roles, and business teams into a single credit pool. A single user action can trigger multiple model calls; an agent can run retries, tool calls, and background workflows without anyone in the loop. When the bill goes up, most teams can see that Cortex spend increased, but not why, or which workload is responsible. <img alt="Snowflake Cortex Cost View" height="515" name="GNW_RichHtml_IMG" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/1404d947-30e8-48c9-a9fb-1526d9760fcb/image1-e891a47e76652268d73d6230851ea0e9.png" width="800" data-dpi="96" data-caption="Snowflake Cortex AI costs by product, agent, user, role, and model, pairing spend with performance in one view" data-filename="image1-e891a47e76652268d73d6230851ea0e9.png" /> Key Capabilities of the Cortex Control Center With the new Cortex Control Center, Yuki brings the most important Cortex signals into one operational view: <ul type="disc"><li>Spend Over Time: Daily Cortex spend as a stacked bar chart, with a 30-day average baseline, broken down by Product, Agent, User, or Role.</li><li>Aggregated View: Total credits and percentage share by product for the selected period.</li><li>Model Performance &amp; True Cost: Query volume, token credits, compute credits, and the token/compute split for every model.</li><li>Latency at P50, P95, and P99: Compare cost against typical, slower, and tail-end response times to see whether higher spend is actually buying better performance. </li></ul> Business Impact <ul type="disc"><li>Finance: Break consumption down by product, agent, user, role, and model to sharpen forecasting and budget conversations.</li><li>Data &amp; AI teams: See which models, functions, and agents are driving usage to improve model selection, routing, and prompt design.</li><li>Engineering leadership: Understand whether Cortex investment is translating into productive adoption, and which teams or workloads to fund or challenge. </li></ul> Recent Momentum The Cortex Control Center extends a broader push by Yuki to make cost optimization easier to adopt and available to more teams. Over the past year, Yuki partnered with Integrate.io to deliver fully predictable, end-to-end data cost optimization, brought real-time cost optimization to BigQuery, joined the AWS ISV Accelerate (ISVA) program to bring real-time data cost control to AI workloads on Snowflake, and launched a 14-day free trial that runs full <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=E-dn7pRUprbrsmEm17dIKfkInJbZXTrKB6YEq_Vbou_qhExRcrU1UPMScS3EMjs97CPO7Qdz8vPF8dioc_ipD-HNJegHumGP4HEi0NMY1A06ZjfSdhZpmEFw5I08Zzkg4Iw6eCnx_ivpQ82UqXHCnQ==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Snowflake cost optimization</a> in production.
