Snowflake beats Databricks to integrating Claude 3.5 directly
- Snowflake, the data ecosystem giant, is partnering with AI vendor Anthropic in a multi-year strategic agreement, bringing Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 family of models to its core platform on AWS.
- Snowflake’s customers will be able to use Claude’s large language models for building advanced AI applications.
- The new engagement will also power Snowflake’s customer-facing agentic offerings as well as help the company’s employees accelerate their internal workflows.
- The addition of Anthropic’s models to the service is expected to improve the value proposition of the company’s data cloud, drawing more customers to it.
- The engagement will allow enterprises using Snowflake to leverage the cutting-edge Claude large language models (LLMs) for building advanced AI applications, including conversational agents.
- This strategy is similar to that of Snowflake's biggest competitor, Databricks, which also offers a range of open-source and proprietary models.
- Last year, Snowflake dropped new AI capabilities, allowing customers to accelerate their data workflows on the platform and enable powerful AI-based use cases, like Cortex, a fully managed service to build LLM apps.
- This partnership is the next step in Snowflake's work, bringing its proprietary Claude 3.5 family of models to Cortex AI with its reasoning, planning and problem-solving capabilities.
- Unlike Databricks, Snowflake customers can access these models directly within their data cloud instance, where their structured and unstructured datasets reside.
- Beyond expanding the ecosystem of LLMs on Cortex AI, Snowflake will also use the Claude 3.5 family of models for its internal workflows and customer-facing products.
