Anthropic, as part of its strategy to expand its corporate customer base, has signed a partnership agreement with Snowflake, a company that provides cloud-based data storage services. Under this agreement, Snowflake will pay $200 million to integrate Anthropic’s language models into its platform. As a result of the collaboration, Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 model will become the main engine powering Snowflake Intelligence, Snowflake’s enterprise artificial intelligence service. Snowflake representatives stated that customers will be able to perform multimodal data analysis using various Claude models, including Claude Opus 4.5. In addition, users will be given the opportunity to create their own custom AI agents based on these models.
Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, noted in his statement that businesses have been working for years to build secure and reliable data environments, and now they need an AI system that can operate seamlessly within those environments. He described this partnership as an important step towards making advanced artificial intelligence technologies truly useful for businesses. Snowflake co-founder and CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy emphasized the importance of the partnership, stating that Claude and Snowflake together will raise the standards for deploying scalable and context-aware AI on enterprises’ most critical business data.
