Data + AI
New models ship every week. Your data foundation shouldn’t.
Snowflake Cortex runs the leading models from every major lab right next to your governed data, with no data movement. We help you pick the right one for each use case, ground it in your data, and put it in production.
Model-agnostic
One foundation. Every major model.
Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Mistral, Google, DeepSeek, Snowflake and more, all callable on your governed data. Move between them with a single line of SQL as better models arrive.
- Claude
- GPT
- Llama
- Mistral
- Gemini
- DeepSeek
- Arctic
- Reka
One line. Any of them.

Governed by default
AI without shipping your data out
Inference runs inside your Snowflake account, so prompts and results stay within the same perimeter as your data. Every call inherits the access controls, lineage, and Horizon governance you already trust, with Cortex guardrails screening for prompt injection and unsafe output.
- Models run next to governed data: no copies, no export
- Access, masking, and lineage inherited from Snowflake Horizon
- Cortex Guard and AI guardrails on every call
The right model for each job
We match the model to the work
There is no single best model, only the best model for a task, a budget, and a latency target. We benchmark the options against your real use cases, fine-tune on your data where it earns its keep, and ground answers in your content with Cortex Search. As stronger models ship, we re-evaluate and switch.
- Model selection benchmarked per use case: quality, cost, latency
- Fine-tuning and retrieval grounding on your own data
- Evaluate and swap as the frontier moves
