We want our customers to get value from AI. So when organizations cite barriers to deriving value, such as integration complexity, regulatory compliance, AI sovereignty, or data quality, we work to alleviate them.
That’s why, in Q4 2025, we significantly enhanced the way customers work with AI through new models, sovereign cloud offerings, and partnerships, alongside numerous product updates. Let’s dive straight in.
SAP-RPT-1 is a novel AI model that is optimized explicitly for predictions on tabular data. While LLMs predict the next word in a text sequence, SAP-RPT-1 forecasts the next field in a table row; it can interpret relational business data and handle virtually any predictive task. Additionally, as our single, universal AI engine, SAP-RPT-1 enables customers to simplify their approach to working with AI by eliminating the need for a myriad of narrow AI specialist models, each requiring arduous training, maintenance, and investments. SAP-RPT-1 also requires 50,000 times less energy, 100,000 fewer GPU FLOPs, and offers up to 3.5 times better predictions and 50 times more speed than state-of-the-art LLMs. Announced at SAP TechEd and now available in our generative AI hub, customers can leverage the SAP-RPT-1-small and SAP-RPT-1-large models.
EU AI Cloud is our new full-stack sovereign cloud offering that supports EU data residency and full sovereignty. It makes meeting regulatory and operational requirements easier by giving customers complete control over their infrastructure, platform, and software. Customers can deploy it on SAP’s own data centers, on trusted European infrastructure, or as a fully managed solution on-site. Now, European enterprises and public sector organizations can benefit from the latest AI innovations securely, in full compliance with European standards and with the sovereignty and flexibility they need.
We also took steps to simplify our customers’ data landscape and preserve the business context of all data. SAP Snowflake combines Snowflake and SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC). This partnership enables zero-copy data sharing across Snowflake and SAP BDC Connect. Customers using Snowflake can integrate their existing instances with SAP BDC for seamless, real-time access to combined, semantically rich SAP and non-SAP data in SAP BDC. SAP Snowflake will be made generally available in Q1 2026, and SAP BDC Connect for Snowflake will be available later in H1 2026.
Furthermore, SAP’s generative AI hub includes the latest frontier models from Mistral, OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic, allowing customers to implement the model that best suits their specific use cases. The 350 AI features, including Joule Agents, along with the over 2,400 Joule skills, are already delivering unparalleled value to customers—built on AI Foundation in SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
