Unlocking Tabular Foundation Models: From Experimentation to Production
A Devtoberfest 2026 session (AI-41) on taking tabular prediction from a playground to a deployment. It sets tabular foundation models against a model trained per use case and against language models reading rows as text, explains in-context learning as examples plus the rows whose target column is missing, and tries SAP RPT 1.6 on a train-delay dataset in the RPT playground, including the column and row importance it returns with the prediction. The same prediction is then rebuilt on SAP AI CoreSAP AI CoreSAP's AI service on BTP: the runtime for AI assets, and through the Generative AI Hub inside it the access to foundation models, the orchestration service with its templating, masking, filtering and grounding modules, the Prompt Registry and Document Grounding.sap official, btp, where the tabular orchestration service plays the part the orchestration service plays for language models: a data destination, a table artifact with its CSN schema and a scenario configuration registered once at design time, after which a predict call passes only the query rows, the scenario configuration and a context-selection strategy. The last demo runs those same calls in natural language through the aicore-skillsaicore-skillsFour agent skills for SAP AI Core, published as a plugin inside SAP's AI Skills Library: admin resources, the deployment lifecycle, the foundation models in the Generative AI Hub, and the Context Registry behind tabular prediction.sap official, btp plugin in a coding agent, and one of them only resolves once the agent is told which scenario configuration to use.
