Deploying ML models to Snowflake with Modelbit and Hex

Hex and Modelbit offer a streamlined approach to deploying machine learning models directly from data platforms, allowing data scientists to quickly build and deploy models with minimal code. In a demonstration, a simple classification model is created in Hex to predict NBA players' positions based on features like attempted three-point shots and scored points, using an XGBoost classifier that achieves a 62% accuracy rate. The model is then deployed to Modelbit with a straightforward Python function, enabling predictions to be made via a REST API or directly from Snowflake. This integration facilitates large-scale predictions without additional infrastructure, exemplifying how Hex and Modelbit simplify the process of building, deploying, and utilizing machine learning models in production environments efficiently.
