Why it matters

Google is collapsing latency and cost for AI-powered database queries by replacing external LLM calls with locally-trained proxy models. This shifts the economics of AI apps from cloud-dependent inference to on-premise database-native execution.

The key facts

6 to know
  1. AlloyDB AI functions reached GA with proxy model architecture

  2. 2,400x throughput improvement via smart batching

  3. 100,000 rows per second in preview (internal testing)

  4. Proxy models trained from LLM outputs, run inference at database speed

  5. Eliminates external LLM API calls for query execution
