Snowflake Signs Multi-Year Pact With Anthropic to Embed Claude for Enterprise AI

Snowflake Inc., a US-based enterprise data-platform widely used for governed analytics and storage, has expanded its partnership with Anthropic under a multi-year deal worth roughly $200 million, bringing the Claude family of AI models deeper into Snowflake’s ecosystem.

The companies said the agreement will allow Snowflake’s more than 12,600 customers to access Claude across the three major public clouds. The partnership also includes a coordinated go-to-market strategy aimed at helping enterprises deploy AI agents that can analyse and work with sensitive internal data.

The announcement follows several months of cooperation between the two firms. Snowflake said many of its customers are already using Claude through Snowflake Cortex AI and collectively process trillions of tokens every month. 

The renewed focus is on AI agents capable of conducting multi-step reasoning across financial, operational and customer datasets while maintaining data governance requirements.

Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy said the collaboration is built on both scale and product alignment. 

“Anthropic 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,” he said.

Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei said the goal is to embed Claude where enterprise data already resides. 

“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,” he said.

Some Snowflake customers are already using Claude to automate support and analytics tasks.

Dave Lynch, Vice-President of Engineering at Intercom, said the models have helped increase automation for customer support and improve efficiency with large clients.

Snowflake also confirmed that engineers use Claude Code for software development tasks, while sales teams use a Claude-powered assistant to search internal data and speed up research on customer accounts.

The announcement followed Snowflake’s fiscal third-quarter results, where revenue reached about $1.21 billion, topping analyst expectations and signalling stronger enterprise spending on data and AI-related workloads.
