Which BI tools let you pin the AI model version?

4 of 15 tools do, according to their public docs, and 3 partly.

Yes: Snowflake, Omni, Tableau, Metabase. Partly: Hex, BigQuery, Alteryx.

The question we asked: Can you pin which model version the built-in assistant uses?

Prompt your agent about thisClaudeChatGPT
Grading standard

yes: an admin or user can choose a specific named model version for the built-in assistant and it stays on that version until changed. Choosing among models or providers without a fixed version is partly. The vendor managing the model with no customer choice is no. Provider choice for data location belongs to KEY, not this. Identical answers are not required.

Databricks

No
Quoted from Databricks’s docsWhen partner-powered AI features are disabled, AI assistive features use Databricks-hosted models, which are entirely Databricks-selected and Databricks-managed.
