1. General Information
1.1. Model description
SAP-RPT-1.5 (Relational Pretrained Transformer) is a table-native relational foundation model
built by SAP. It is designed with a deep understanding of the relationships, structures, and
semantics inherent in tabular enterprise data.
The core capability of SAP-RPT-1.5 is tabular in-context learning, where the model makes
predictions based on context rows and query rows that are provided at inference time. SAP-RPT-
1.5 can be applied out of the box across a wide range of enterprise tasks without requiring any
training or fine-tuning steps.
1.2. How to use and access
SAP-RPT-1.5 is available for productive use via generative AI hub on SAP AI Core. If you are an
existing SAP customer, you can follow these steps to access SAP-RPT-1.5 in your SAP BTP
environment. Find more information about SAP-RPT-1.5 here.
To try out the model, you can access the RPT playground free of charge at https://rpt.cloud.sap.
Simply upload your own tabular dataset or use one of the example scenarios provided to get
hands-on with the model.
2. Model Details
2.1. Architecture
SAP-RPT-1.5 employs a transformer-based architecture optimized for tabular data, featuring
semantic embeddings, a table-native 2D attention scheme, and classification/regression heads
for output generation. The model is designed to detect connections and dependencies across
rows and columns in large enterprise tables, with optimized processing for the unique semantics
and data types found in business data. For more information on the architecture, see this peer-
reviewed paper from NeurIPS 2025.
2.2. Inputs & outputs
As an in-context learner, the model accepts labeled examples (context rows) of the predictive
task and query rows in which the values to be predicted are masked by a special token
([PREDICT] in the example below), both simultaneously at inference time. Note that there is no
dedicated training step as the model comes pre-trained to deliver instant predictions.
