Explanation

Snowpark-optimized warehouses are specialized virtual warehouses designed for memory-intensive Snowpark workloads (e.g., ML training, large DataFrame operations). Unlike standard warehouses that start at X-Small, Snowpark-optimized warehouses have a minimum size requirement of Small. This minimum exists because Snowpark workloads require significantly more memory per node - each node in a Snowpark-optimized warehouse provides ~16x more memory than the equivalent standard warehouse node. X-Small is not supported for this warehouse type due to insufficient memory resources.
