Snowflake (Cortex)
Cloud data warehouse embedding LLM inference via Cortex
Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) embeds LLM inference directly against governed enterprise data through Cortex AI, partnering with Anthropic and Mistral to run models where the data already lives. It is a key enterprise adoption channel because CFOs and CISOs prefer inference inside their existing data-governance perimeter. Its rivalry with Databricks defines where enterprise AI workloads land.
