India, Dec 6: – Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), the AI Data Cloud company, and Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, today announced a major expansion of their strategic partnership. Under a multi-year, $200 million agreement, Anthropic’s Claude models will be available on the Snowflake platform for over 12,600 global customers across all three major clouds. The partnership also launches a joint global go-to-market initiative to deploy AI agents for the world’s largest enterprises.

Claude will power Snowflake Intelligence, Snowflake’s enterprise intelligence agent, enabling organizations to access all knowledge through a single trusted agent that sparks curiosity, encourages exploration, and accelerates innovation.

Building on existing collaboration, where thousands of Snowflake customers already process trillions of Claude tokens monthly via Snowflake Cortex AI, this next phase will deploy AI agents capable of multi-step analysis. By combining Claude’s advanced reasoning and Snowflake’s secure data environment, enterprises in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and life sciences can scale AI from pilot to production safely and efficiently.

For instance, wealth management firms can use Snowflake Intelligence powered by Claude to synthesize client holdings, market data, and compliance rules to generate personalized portfolio recommendations all within Snowflake’s secure and governed platform.

Key Benefits of the Partnership:

  • Turn Data Into Action: Snowflake Intelligence (Claude Sonnet 4.5) allows users to analyze and gain insights from structured and unstructured data using natural language.

  • Deeper Analysis with Multimodal AI: Snowflake Cortex AI Functions support querying all data types, from numbers to text, images, and audio, powered by Claude Opus 4.5.

  • Custom Multi-Agent Solutions: Snowflake Cortex Agents enable production-ready AI agents that retrieve and process data accurately while maintaining governance.

  • Built-In Governance and Observability: Snowflake Horizon Catalog ensures end-to-end AI governance and responsible deployment.

Snowflake also uses Claude Code internally to boost developer productivity and innovation, while Snowflake Intelligence powers its internal GTM AI Assistant to centralize enterprise data and accelerate sales insights.

“Anthropic joins a select group of partners where we align at scale, co-innovate at the product level, and execute effectively for customers worldwide,” said Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO, Snowflake. “Together, Snowflake and Claude are raising the bar for deploying scalable, context-aware AI on business-critical data.”

“Enterprises want AI that works securely within their trusted data environments. Bringing Claude directly into Snowflake is a major step toward making frontier AI genuinely useful for businesses,” added Dario Amodei, CEO and Co-founder, Anthropic.
