Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, and Anthropic, the AI safety and research company, today announced at Snowflake Summit 26 significant momentum in their strategic partnership. Enterprises are increasingly adopting Anthropic Claude in Snowflake Cortex AI, Snowflake's suite of AI products, driven by growing demand for governed, production-ready AI. Together, Snowflake and Anthropic are helping enterprises move from AI experimentation to production faster.
Snowflake Cortex Code has become Snowflake's fastest-growing product in company history with more than 7,100 users.
Customers include Basis, Block, Carvana, eSentire, Indeed, and Notion.
Claude powers Snowflake Cortex Code, Snowflake Intelligence (personal agent), and Cortex Agents framework.
Cortex Agents enables building AI agents that retrieve, reason over, and act on governed enterprise data.
Snowflake is one of six launch partners in Claude Marketplace.
Snowflake serves more than 13,900 customers globally.
"The rapid adoption of models like Claude through Snowflake Cortex AI reflects a broader shift in what enterprises expect from AI," said Christian Kleinerman, EVP of Product, Snowflake. "Customers want AI that works directly on their governed data, not in isolated systems. We're seeing strong demand across our AI products, with Snowflake Cortex Code becoming the fastest-growing product in Snowflake's history. Together with Anthropic, we're helping organizations move from experimentation to production faster and laying the foundation for the agentic enterprise."
"Snowflake customers are increasingly using Claude to power cybersecurity investigations, accelerate financial analysis, build production data apps, and many other workflows," said Steve Corfield, Head of Global Business Development & Partnerships, Anthropic. "Snowflake brings the governed data environment enterprises already rely on, and Claude brings the reasoning to put that data to work. Together we're making it easy for organizations to use trusted AI on their most critical business data."
As enterprises operationalize AI across critical workflows, customers are turning to Snowflake and Anthropic to support advanced use cases requiring deep context, strong reasoning, and enterprise-grade controls.
"As marketing environments grow more complex and data-driven, organizations need solutions that optimize performance while operating within a secure, scalable data foundation," said Hiten Mistry, SVP of Product, Basis. "Leveraging Claude with Snowflake's trusted environment would empower Basis to deliver deeper insights and more automation across the marketing lifecycle."
"At Block, we're focused on building an AI-native operating layer that connects intelligent reasoning directly to the trusted data powering our ecosystems across our different brands (including Square, Cash App, and Afterpay)," said Arnaud Weber, Engineering Lead, Block. "By combining Anthropic Claude with Snowflake's governed data platform, our teams can investigate compliance and security issues in real-time, trace controls and requirements, surface operational insights, and automate workflows grounded in trusted enterprise data."
"Carvana manages a highly dynamic operation spanning inventory, logistics, financing, and customer demand," said Alex Devkar, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Analytics, Carvana. "That complexity makes AI most powerful when it can work securely with governed enterprise data inside the systems our teams already use. By combining Claude with Snowflake, we can move faster, apply AI more effectively, and maintain the controls required to operate at scale."
"Our work with Snowflake and Anthropic brings together leading AI capabilities with a governed data foundation, enabling organizations to embed intelligence directly into their core business processes," said Jason Salzetti, Chair and CEO, Deloitte Consulting LLP. "Deloitte plays a critical role in helping clients design, build, and scale these solutions, accelerating time to value while supporting the alignment of AI to enterprise standards for risk, compliance, and performance."
"As cyber threats become more sophisticated and move at machine speed, organizations need AI that can reason deeply while operating within a secure, governed data environment," said Dustin Hillard, CPTO, eSentire. "By leveraging Claude within Snowflake's trusted environment, we're able to power AI-led threat investigations that autonomously handle Tier 1 analysis, freeing our SOC analysts to focus on complex threats with greater speed and precision."
"At Indeed, our mission is to help people get jobs. We use intelligent, AI-driven solutions to make the hiring process seamless and efficient for everyone," said Trey Henninger, VP Data and Analytics, Indeed. "Harnessing Anthropic Claude within Snowflake's trusted AI Data Cloud allows us to make our data interactable for all Indeed employees."
"Notion is defining how AI and enterprise data come together in the modern workspace, bringing intelligence directly into the flow of everyday work," said Ravi Menon, Head of Data, Notion. "By integrating models like Claude with Snowflake's governed data platform, we're giving teams the ability to generate content, synthesize knowledge, and access real time business insights all in one place. We've created agents like Data Scout that pull directly from Snowflake, helping customers move from question to insight to action without friction."
Apply advanced AI to governed enterprise data: Snowflake brings Anthropic Claude models into Cortex AI so customers can use frontier reasoning across all data types while maintaining Snowflake governance and security controls.
Empower knowledge workers to turn data into action: Snowflake Intelligence, the personal agent that helps you work smarter, is powered by models like Claude to enable natural language queries, reasoning across enterprise data, and helps turn insights into action.
Accelerate developer productivity on enterprise data workloads: Snowflake Cortex Code, the coding agent where you build faster, is purpose-built for Snowflake schemas, data apps, and workflows. Enterprises using Claude Code can securely bring governed Snowflake data into their development workflows through the Cortex Code plugin for Claude Code.
Build production-ready AI agents on trusted data: Cortex Agents enables customers to build agents that retrieve, reason over, and act on governed enterprise data, with Claude supporting customer support automation, data analysis, and core operations.
Simplify how enterprises engage and scale AI investments: As one of six launch partners in the Claude Marketplace, Snowflake is working with Anthropic to simplify procurement and unlock joint commercial models.
Strengthen security and responsible AI deployment: Snowflake and Anthropic share a commitment to enterprise-grade security, governance, and responsible AI, including collaboration on emerging Claude Code Security capabilities.
