SAP is the German enterprise-software giant. In May 2026 it agreed to acquire Freiburg-based Prior Labs, whose TabPFN model — published in Nature and downloaded over 3 million times — holds state-of-the-art results on structured-data benchmarks, committing more than €1 billion over four years to scale it into what SAP calls a globally leading frontier AI lab. Prior Labs stays independent, a case of an enterprise-software firm making a credible research bet rather than wrapping a third-party API.
