Anthropic Signs $200 Million Deal to Integrate Its Large Language Models into Snowflake's Customer Platform

Artificial intelligence research lab Anthropic continues to aggressively pursue enterprise clients. The company announced on Wednesday an expanded partnership with cloud data firm Snowflake, signing a $200 million multi-year AI collaboration agreement. Under the deal, Anthropic's large language models (LLMs) will be integrated into Snowflake's platform, gaining access to its vast customer base.

Snowflake co-founder and CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy stated in a blog post: "Anthropic joins an elite group of partners—those with whom we have $100M+ commercial commitments, joint product innovation, and a proven track record of executing projects for global customers. Together, Claude (Anthropic's LLM) and Snowflake will set a new standard for how enterprises deploy scalable, context-aware AI powered by their most critical business data."

The partnership also includes a joint go-to-market initiative aimed at delivering AI agent services to enterprise customers.

Snowflake's enterprise AI service, "Snowflake Intelligence," will be powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5 (a version of Anthropic's LLM). Snowflake noted that its customers will gain access to Claude models, including Claude Opus 4.5, for multimodal data analysis and the ability to build customized AI agents.

Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei said in a statement: "Enterprises have spent years building secure, trusted data environments, and now they want AI to operate within those environments without compromising security. This collaboration brings Claude directly into Snowflake—where that data lives. It's a crucial step toward making cutting-edge AI truly valuable for businesses."

In recent months, Anthropic has signed multiple major enterprise deals. The company has prioritized selling to businesses, contrasting sharply with rival OpenAI's more consumer-focused growth strategy.

In October, Anthropic partnered with Deloitte to integrate its Claude chatbot into the consulting giant's employee platform, reaching over 500,000 staff. That same week, Anthropic also announced a collaboration with IBM to integrate some of its LLMs into IBM's software products.

Anthropic's success in the enterprise market comes as no surprise, with its models gaining widespread and growing adoption among businesses. A July survey by Menlo Ventures found that enterprises prefer Anthropic's AI products over those from other AI companies.
