Overview

SAP has developed ConTextTab (now RPT-1), a tabular foundation model targeting enterprise data workflows. The model reached general availability in Q4 2025 with open weights, reflecting SAP’s strategy to embed AI capabilities directly into its enterprise software ecosystem.

Key Product

ConTextTab (RPT-1) is a tabular foundation model with open weights, designed for enterprise prediction tasks on structured business data. RPT-1 leverages SAP’s unique access to enterprise data patterns across ERP, supply chain, and financial systems to pre-train on representative business tabular distributions.

Team

Developed by SAP’s AI research division, drawing on the company’s decades of experience with enterprise structured data across industries including manufacturing, retail, and financial services.

Outlook

SAP’s unmatched access to enterprise tabular data patterns gives RPT-1 a domain advantage that pure-play startups cannot replicate. If integrated into SAP’s core products, it could become the default tabular FM for the enterprise segment, reaching millions of existing SAP customers.
