41.8 GB/sec. 133.5 million rows/sec. One native Snowflake table.
Our synthetic Snowpipe Streaming benchmark in AWS us-west-2 sustained 41.8 GB/sec of uncompressed throughput with Elastic Channels. Throughput grew linearly as we scaled from 15 to 455 Kubernetes workers.
The setup combined Elastic Channels, 1-vCPU worker pods and Rust-based encoding to reduce client-side overhead.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

🚨 🚨 BRAKING 🚨 🚨
We lost an American Legend and just a genuinely amazing human being in Dolly Parton
The ultimate honor I can pay is to spell your name correctly and use your correct picture. Dolly Parton certainly earned that and much, much more

Context is a recurring cost. Tool definitions, skill entries, and prior turns all get re-sent as the session grows.
CoCo trims what the agent doesn't need. Tools load on demand, calls get bundled, and big outputs stay out of the prompt. Cost per query drops 33 to 45%. CoWork supplies what the agent does need. In our benchmark, that took a query from $1.76 to $0.59 and accuracy from 24% to 86%.
The deep dive👇
