Spice AI
Open data lakehouse for agents that serves enterprise data securely and at scale on object storage
An open-source SQL query, search, and LLM inference platform that federates 40+ data sources and enables AI agents to query databases, data lakes, and
Overview

Spice AI builds Spice, an open-source engine for SQL query, search, and LLM inference over enterprise data. Applications and AI agents use one SQL endpoint to query databases, data lakes, and warehouses. Spice can keep an analytics replica of an operational database so analytical reads do not load production. Teams run Spice on their own infrastructure or use the managed Spice Cloud Platform.
Spice combines live queries against connected sources with locally accelerated datasets behind one SQL endpoint. It adds high-throughput CDC replication and query capabilities, allowing analytical queries to run on a separate copy of operational data with reduced load on primary databases. The platform supports hybrid search combining keyword, vector, and full-text search in SQL, and enables calling LLMs directly from the query layer.

Frequently looked up
- Q1What is Spice AI?
- Spice AI builds Spice, an open-source engine for SQL query, search, and LLM inference over enterprise data. Applications and AI agents use one SQL endpoint to query databases, data lakes, and warehouses. Spice can keep an analytics replica of an operational database so analytical reads do not load production. Teams run Spice on their own infrastructure or use the managed Spice Cloud Platform.
- Q2Can a team evaluate Spice before buying a plan?
- Teams can install Spice OSS or start a 7-day Spice Cloud trial without a credit card. Connect a data source, select datasets to expose, and run SQL queries before adding acceleration, search, or model inference. Talk to a Spice engineer about data sources, query latency, freshness, security, and deployment requirements.
- Q3Does adopting Spice require replacing an existing data platform?
- No. Spice can query existing databases, warehouses, and data lakes through its data connectors. Teams can begin with one dataset and add acceleration or search as their application needs change.
- Q4What makes Spice AI different?
- Spice is open source with a choice of where compute runs, combines federation and acceleration in one SQL endpoint, and unifies data querying, retrieval, and model inference. Production deployments at Barracuda achieved up to 100x faster queries and 50% lower costs. Spice can run one isolated data stack per agent with separate compute and access controls.
- Q5What support does Spice AI offer?
- Open-source users can ask questions in community Slack and report issues on GitHub. Cloud Pro for Teams includes private Slack and email with standard 8/5 next-business-day support. Enterprise offers premium 24/7 on-call support.
