<\/p>\nSnowflake and Anthropic Announce $200 Million Partnership to Bring Agentic AI to Global Enterprises<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThis expanded partnership builds on Snowflake and Anthropic\u2019s existing work together, where thousands of Snowflake customers are already processing trillions of Claude tokens per month through Snowflake Cortex AI<\/a>. This next phase of collaboration is focused on deploying state-of-the-art AI agents on Snowflake capable of handling multi-step analysis, powered by Claude’s advanced reasoning capabilities and ability to securely handle sensitive data. This enables understanding extensive context across financial, operational, and customer data, among others, reasoning through it carefully, and showing their work rather than just retrieving an answer. By combining Claude’s reasoning with Snowflake’s governed data and AI environment, customers in regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and life sciences can move from pilots to production with confidence.\n<\/p>\n
\nFor example, a wealth management firm can use Snowflake Intelligence, powered by Claude, to create an agent that synthesizes client holdings with relevant market data and compliance rules to generate personalized portfolio recommendations \u2014 all within the security and governance perimeter of Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSnowflake\u2019s most strategic partnerships are measured not just in scale, but in the depth of innovation and customer value that we can create together,\u201d said Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO, Snowflake. \u201cAnthropic joins a very select group of partners where we have nine-figure alignment, co-innovation at the product level, and a proven track record of executing together for customers worldwide. Together, the combined power of Snowflake and Claude is raising the bar for how enterprises deploy scalable, context-aware AI on top of their most critical business data.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n“Enterprises have spent years building secure, trusted data environments, and now they want AI that can work within those environments without compromise. This partnership brings Claude directly into Snowflake, where that data already lives. It’s a meaningful step toward making frontier AI genuinely useful for businesses,\u201d said Dario Amodei, CEO and Co-founder, Anthropic.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe leverage Anthropic\u2019s Claude models in Snowflake Cortex AI and this has transformed how we work with our customers to achieve increased Fin AI Agent automation rates for their support volume. Our engagements, especially with our biggest, most demanding customers, are holistically more efficient and more effective. We can do things we simply could not feasibly do before,\u201d said Dave Lynch, VP Engineering, Intercom<\/b>. \u201cWe will continue to seek out places where we can build on strong security and governance foundations of the Snowflake platform to drive impact for our customers and revenue for Intercom.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
