Cube D3, our-first party agentic analytics platform, is here. There are two great blogs by my colleagues Artyom and Pavel and David that will give you all of the information about what exactly D3 is, how you can get ahold of it, and why we built it. If you haven’t read those first, I’d encourage you to stop right here (please come back!) and read those. This will make a lot more sense with that background information.
With that warning I’m sure you all read the other posts, but for a quick refresher, Cube D3 is an agentic analytics platform powered by the Cube semantic layer. It represents an evolution of Cube, in which we are now shipping an analytical interface for users to interact with, in addition to the other core pieces of the Cube Cloud platform such as semantic data modeling, access control, caching, and our comprehensive suite of API endpoints. Prior to this, Cube was a headless platform, and in fact if you’ve followed Cube long enough you might remember that we marketed on the phrase “headless BI” in the very early days.
In fact, Cube has always existed in the middle of many technologies. Whether those are our data source partners from which we read data, our hyperscaler partners whose platforms we sit on top of, and our BI and spreadsheet partners that users interact with - Cube has always been a part of a larger ecosystem. That’s the fun, and rewarding part of developing the partner motion here at Cube. A key belief at Cube is in the interoperability and openness of our software. This belief has enabled us to grow our partner ecosystem to be larger than that of any other semantic layer. We want to enable our customers to arrange the pieces how they see fit to best support their goals.
The introduction of Cube D3 as a first-party analytical interface doesn’t change anything about this. Cube will remain an open platform that continues to introduce integrations for the technologies that our customers and partners request.
If you take a deeper look into the architecture of D3, you can see this at play. At launch, D3 will support LLM inference from our major partners at Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon, Microsoft and Google. We will add additional inference partners as requested by our customers. D3 also supports data from all of our existing data source partners supported in Cube Cloud.
As we launch Cube D3, and present our take on where the future of agentic analytics is going, I look forward to collaborating with all of our partners - ISV, hyperscaler, and consulting partners to drive value for our joint customers.
We will gradually roll out access to users throughout the summer, with plans for general availability in the fall. Join the D3 waitlist today.
