warehouse: you connect your warehouse AND astrobee will store your semantic layer (ontology) in your warehouse. it will also use your warehouse to do computation
connect source: you'll use our warehouse under the hood, and when you connect your source systems, data will end up being stored in our warehouse. thats where computation and ontology storage will happen
that's a fair point. we use "ontology" throughout the product because of the influence from Palantir, and the fact that the structure we use in the product (from palantir) is in fact a bit different from what most people would create in semantic layers like dbt or cube
but i agree it's confusing. we are considering changing the naming around to account for this. i appreciate the feedback!
we're using OpenAI's API for business. they don't train on data sent to the business api, unlike the consumer tier
this is still an early beta, so at the moment everything is only available with OpenAI's API. however, for people who want to use it in a higher security environment, we'll support switching OpenAI with any hosted model API including on-premise or models held in private VPCs. that way people can manage their data with no exfiltration to a third party
it depends on whether you want to live life with work-as-someone-paying-for-your-time or whether you want to live life as work-as-perfecting-and-delivering-on-craft
you can have an attitude towards spending the short hours you have on this earth attempting to produce quality work that others appreciate and make their lives easier in some way, as opposed to writing those hours off as sold to someone else
