Top New Features in SAP HANA Cloud | Q2 2026 Release Highlights

Discover what’s new in SAP HANA Cloud Q2 2026 in under 7 minutes.

Join Thomas Hammer, Lead Product Manager of SAP HANA Cloud, as he walks through the key innovations in our Q2 2026 release, including custom database object knowledge graphs, new database object discovery and data retrieval tools, knowledge graph engine innovations, larger SAP HANA Cloud database instances on AWS, deeper SAP AI Core integration, and more.

See how SAP HANA Cloud automatically creates a semantic knowledge graph from your database metadata, making it easier to discover, understand, and query enterprise data. Learn how the new Database Object Discovery and Data Retrieval tools use natural language to identify relevant data, generate SQL, and retrieve results, reducing the need for deep database expertise.

Thomas also explores the latest Knowledge Graph Engine innovations, including support for transforming knowledge graphs into property graphs and federated SPARQL queries across distributed SAP HANA Cloud environments. Together, these capabilities provide a stronger foundation for semantic search, graph analytics, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI-driven applications.

The release also introduces support for SAP HANA Cloud database instances with up to 24 TB of memory on AWS, helping organizations run larger, mission-critical in-memory workloads. In addition, deeper SAP AI Core integration brings AI-powered predictions and large language model capabilities directly into SQL workflows, making it easier to build intelligent, data-driven applications.

Finally, discover additional innovations, including the new Performance Class Advisor, automated SQL Plan Advisor enhancements, Apache Iceberg REST catalog support for lakehouse scenarios, and replication support for SAP S/4HANA CDS view entities.

Advent Accelerates Deals with ChatGPT + Codex

ChatGPT + Codex are a one-two punch for investment firms.

"Having the ability to connect your deal folder with all of the context, and then be able to ask ChatGPT and Codex real time questions has been really impactful to our workflows," – Jasmine Azizi (Advent).

Financial firms hold a tremendous amount of context. ChatGPT acts like a brain layer so teams can spend more time focusing on the next big bet.

Training Agents 2: Live tutorial on model distillation for training custom agents.

Training Agents 2: Live tutorial on model distillation for training custom agents.

Training Agents 2: Live tutorial on model distillation for training custom agents.

In this live session, we’ll cover how to transfer capability from a teacher model to a smaller student through distillation. We’ll work through supervised fine-tuning on teacher-generated data, then on-policy and online methods where the teacher scores the student live, then self-distillation where the model teaches itself. Each one runs in TRL.
What we’ll cover:

– What distillation is, and the four axes that organize it: signal, data source, timing, and teacher identity
– White-box vs black-box: distilling from open weights vs strings
– Off-policy distillation: generate from the teacher, then SFT on the outputs
– On-policy distillation: sample from the student, score with the teacher in the loop
– Distillation as reinforcement learning: the KD distance as a dense, token-level reward
– Self-distillation: the model as its own teacher, and when that beats a stronger one

Repo: https://github.com/burtenshaw/training-agents

This is part of the Training Agents series: using coding agents to design, run, monitor, and review post-training experiments, while training models to become better agents.

Can AI help us better understand ourselves? This lightning talk explores how open source AI, EEG brain-computer interfaces (BCI), biosensors, and creative coding transform brainwaves, meditation, and human emotions into interactive digital experiences.

Through projects including From Brainwaves to Blessings, AI Mandala, and Spirits of You, you’ll discover how open-source tools process EEG signals, generate digital art, create 3D-printed artifacts, and reimagine cultural rituals with AI. The session also covers practical workflows for brainwave processing, generative visuals, real-time data visualization, and ethical AI design.

Whether you’re interested in AI, creative technology, digital art, or human-computer interaction, this talk demonstrates how transparent, open-source AI can deepen our understanding of attention, emotion, culture, and human connection.
