Snowflake Inc. is a cloud-based data platform company best known for its Data Cloud, which enables organizations to store, integrate, and analyze data at scale across multiple public clouds. Its architecture separates storage and compute, allowing elastic, pay-as-you-go analytics workloads. Snowflake increasingly positions itself as a foundation for data applications, AI, and secure data sharing across enterprises.
Snowflake’s AI strategy is to make its Data Cloud the primary platform where enterprises prepare, govern, and operationalize data for AI and ML, while embedding native AI services (e.g., Snowflake Cortex, Snowflake ML) directly into the platform. It focuses on enabling governed, secure access to high-quality enterprise data for AI, supporting both in-database ML and integrations with external LLMs and AI tools, and partnering with major cloud and AI providers to broaden its ecosystem.
