The public beta of Semantic Model Sync for Hex has been launched, allowing users to connect semantic models from dbt MetricFlow, Cube, and LookML (in private beta) to use pre-defined measures, dimensions, joins, and more. This feature aims to address the challenges faced by data teams in keeping up with infinite demand for insights while ensuring accurate and consistent results. Semantic Model Sync enables flexible tools without locking users into vendor-specific specs, allowing them to create governed metrics without redefining them every time. The integration is available on Team and Enterprise plans, and the LookML integration is currently in private beta. Semantic models encode instructions for use of data, making it easier for organizations to leverage data in a consistent and standardized way. Hex's approach to semantic modeling focuses on flexibility, interoperability, and openness, allowing users to model what's needed without getting boxed in.
