Exam GES-C01 Topic 1 Question 308 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's GES-C01 exam
Question #: 308
Topic #: 1
An 'ACCOUNTADMIN' has configured the 'CORTEX MODELS ALLOWLIST parameter to allow only the 'mistral-large? model. A developer, whose role has been granted 'SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX USER and the specific application role 'SNOWFLAKE."CORTEX- MODEL-ROLE-LLAMA3.1-70B"' , subsequently accesses the Cortex LLM Playground. Which models would be available for selection and successful inference by this user within the Playground?

Suggested Answer: A,B Vote an answer

The parameter governs which models can be used with 'COMPLETE, 'TRY_COMPLETE , and are therefore available in the Cortex LLM Playground. Option A is correct because 'mistral-large? is explicitly in the , making it available. Option B is also correct because Snowflake Cortex functions, including 'AI_COMPLETE (which the Playground utilizes), first check if the provided model name is an identifier for a schema-level model object. If found, role-based access control (RBAC) is applied. Since the user's role has 'SNOWFLAKE."CORTEX-MODEL-ROLE-LLAMA3.1-70B"' granted, they have access to the 'LLAMA3.1-70B" model object, overriding the account-level allowlist for this specific model object. Options C and D are incorrect because snowflake-arctic' is neither in the allowlist nor is specific RBAC granted for it in this scenario. Option E is incorrect as RBAC on model objects can grant access to models not explicitly listed in the account-level when referenced as model objects.
