-In addition to using the SQL analytics endpoint for data exploration, you can also create a Power BI semantic model in Direct Lake mode to query data in your lakehouse. When you create a lakehouse, the system also creates an associated default semantic model. The default semantic model is a semantic model with metrics on top of lakehouse data.
+In addition to using the SQL analytics endpoint for data exploration, you can use a Power BI semantic model to explore data. A semantic model is a way of viewing data using business friendly terminology.  It's typically represented as a star schema with facts that represent a domain of data relevant to a particular business area, and dimensions that allow you to analyze data in the data domain. A default semantic model is created automatically when you create a lakehouse. You can also create a non-default, custom Power BI semantic model.

-Data analysts connect to the semantic model using **Direct Lake mode**, in which the semantic model accesses data from a lakehouse. Direct Lake mode caches often-used data and refreshes it as required, combining the speed of a semantic model with the up-to-date data from a lakehouse.
