Snowflake becomes the fastest engine nobody chooses.
You shut down CoWork and sold raw speed: the heavy queries no lab's agent can run in its own sandbox, billed by the second.
Every lab's agent sends Snowflake its heaviest queries. Its router picks you when you're cheapest that hour, and drops you when you're not.
OMNI: I adore your engine. I also adore the four others I tried this morning.
The Buyer: Amazon loves an engine. 1.8x revenue. You'll run quietly underneath S3, where nobody looks.
Outcome: Lost as a feature
Speed without the customer is a commodity. Agents send each query to the cheapest engine that hour, so nobody pays for the name.
