In the Power BI Service, Import mode models are stored offline and paged into memory only when they are needed – for example because someone runs a report that uses the model as its source.

However, brand reputations are especially vulnerable today, where a few bad online reviews can damage years of impeccable service.

A few months ago I blogged about the new limits available for the Maximum Connections Per Data Source property in Premium and why the number of connections that a DirectQuery semantic model can open to a data source is so important for report performance. At that time, however, there was no way for you to know whether the performance of your reports was being affected by a lack of available connections.

Gen AI takes us from single-use models of machine learning (ML) to AI tools that promise to be a platform with uses in many areas, but you still need to validate they’re appropriate for the problems you want solved, and that your users know how to use gen AI effectively.
