Anthropic struck a $200 million multi-year AI deal with cloud data company Snowflake on Wednesday to integrate its large language models into Snowflake’s platform.
The agreement expands the existing partnership between the two companies and will make Anthropic’s models available to Snowflake’s customer base. This collaboration represents a joint go-to-market initiative to deliver AI agents to enterprise customers.
Sridhar Ramaswamy, Snowflake’s co-founder and CEO, said, “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 added that the combined power of Claude and Snowflake is “raising the bar for how enterprises deploy scalable, context-aware AI on top of their most critical business data.”
Snowflake Intelligence, the company’s enterprise AI service, will use Claude Sonnet 4.5. Snowflake customers will access Claude models, including Claude Opus 4.5, for multimodal data analysis and to develop custom agents.
Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, said, “Enterprises have spent years building secure, trusted data environments, and now they want AI that can work within those environments without compromise.” He also stated that this partnership brings Claude directly into Snowflake, where that data already lives, calling it a meaningful step toward making frontier AI useful for businesses.
Anthropic has recently secured several large enterprise deals, focusing on business-to-business sales. In October, Anthropic signed an agreement with Deloitte to provide its Claude chatbot to Deloitte’s more than 500,000 employees. In the same week, Anthropic partnered with IBM to integrate some of its large language models into IBM’s software products. A Menlo Ventures survey in July indicated that enterprises preferred Anthropic’s AI products over those from other AI companies.
