Beyond Relational: Semantic-Aware Multi-Modal Analytics with LLM-Native Query Optimization

Summary: Nirvana: LLM-native semantic multi-modal analytics beyond relational operators, with programmable semantic operators and optimizer support for semantically aware query processing. Novel agentic logical optimization via NL rewrite rules + random-walk search, plus cost-aware LLM backend selection, reuse, and pushdown; strong runtime/cost gains.
