## AI overview

ClickHouse Cloud has released executable user-defined functions in public beta. Developers can upload Python functions and invoke them from SQL, including in materialized views, while ClickHouse manages sandboxed processes near the data. The article demonstrates real-time anomaly detection on equity trade ticks with a PyTorch autoencoder and a Next.js front end.

## Source excerpt

Today we're excited to announce that executable UDFs are now available in public beta on ClickHouse Cloud. You can write a function in Python, upload it as a zip to your cluster, and call it from SQL like any built-in. ClickHouse manages a pool of long-li
