Snowflake and OpenAI partner to bring frontier intelligence …
OpenAI News一家为期多年的 2 亿美元合作将 OpenAI 的前沿智能直接引入 Snowflake ，覆盖 Snowflake Cortex AI 和 Snowflake Intelligence 等功能。
作为一家被 12,600 多家公司采用的数据与 AI 平台， Snowflake 帮助企业构建、使用并共享数据、应用与 AI。借助其直观易用、便于协作且具备企业级安全与治理的 AI Data Cloud ，组织能够挖掘数据价值并推进 AI 化应用。
在此次合作下， Snowflake 客户可在平台内调用 OpenAI 模型（例如 GPT‑5.2 ），通过 Snowflake Cortex AI 构建以企业数据为基础的定制应用和智能代理；在 Snowflake Intelligence 中，员工可以用自然语言提问并即时获得洞见——系统会自动检索与分析业务数据，用户无需编写代码即可得到结果。
Snowflake 首席执行官 Sridhar Ramaswamy 表示：“将 OpenAI 模型带到企业数据上，意味着客户可以在他们已信赖的安全受控平台上构建并部署 AI。企业现在能把存放在 Snowflake 的全部知识，与 OpenAI 世界级的智能结合，打造既强大又负责任、值得信赖的 AI 代理。我们共同为 AI 创新设立了新标准，助力企业在保持严格安全与合规的前提下，放心推进数字化转型。”
而 OpenAI 应用业务负责人 Fidji Simo 认为：“ Snowflake 是企业管理与激活关键数据的核心平台。此番合作把我们的先进模型直接带入这一环境，使部署 AI 代理与应用更为简便，帮助企业缩短从 AI 能力到实际价值的距离。”
借助 Snowflake Cortex AI Functions ，团队还能直接在 SQL 中调用 OpenAI 模型来分析任意类型的数据——无论是表格、文本、图像还是音频，AI 都可以成为他们熟悉查询语言的自然延伸。
推动企业级 AI 更快落地是双方的共同目标。 Snowflake 的客户遍及金融、医疗、零售、媒体、制造与公共部门等多个行业，此次合作已引起企业界关注：
Canva 数据科学主管 Helen Crossley 表示，随着 Canva 扩展视觉 AI 服务， OpenAI 与 Snowflake 在快速赋能用户新创意工具方面发挥了关键作用；在平台继续扩张之际， Snowflake 是其数据管理与激活的基础，结合 OpenAI 模型将有助于更快检验新想法，同时不牺牲安全性或性能。
WHOOP 商业分析高级总监 Matt Luizzi 说：“在 WHOOP 扩张过程中，快速且精确的决策至关重要。向员工推广 Snowflake Intelligence 并开发 Cortex Agents ，为我们提供了一个安全受控的方式来分析数据与决策。有了可在 Snowflake Cortex AI 内直接使用的 OpenAI 模型，我们可以用更先进的推理与分析增强这些代理，同时维持严格的安全与治理标准。”
未来，双方团队将密切合作，引入支持共享企业工作流的 OpenAI Apps SDK 、 AgentKit 与相关 API。作为合作一部分， Snowflake 还将继续在内部使用 ChatGPT Enterprise ，以帮助员工更快决策、优化流程与提升协作效率。
此外， Snowflake 正将 OpenAI 的能力扩展到更多大型成熟企业的业务中，合作企业包括 Accenture 、 Walmart 、 PayPal 、 Intuit 、 Target 、 Thermo Fisher 、 BNY 、 Morgan Stanley 、 BBVA 等。
目前，全球已有超过 100 万家企业客户直接在使用 OpenAI ——这是史上增长最快的企业级平台之一。
Key takeaways:
- New $200 million agreement brings OpenAI frontier intelligence directly into Snowflake.
- Enterprise customers can use OpenAI within Snowflake to build AI agents and generate insights directly from their data.
- Under the partnership, OpenAI is one of the key model capabilities in Snowflake.
OpenAI and Snowflake have entered a multi-year, $200 million partnership that brings OpenAI frontier intelligence directly into Snowflake, including Snowflake Cortex AI and Snowflake Intelligence.
Snowflake is a data and AI platform that 12,600+ companies use to build, use, and share data, applications, and AI. With Snowflake, organizations can harness the power of their data and activate AI with an AI Data Cloud that’s intuitive and easy to use, seamlessly connected for collaboration, and built with the security and governance that enterprises trust as their foundation.
Under the partnership, Snowflake customers can use OpenAI models like GPT‑5.2 with tools like Snowflake Cortex AI to build custom applications and agents grounded in their enterprise data. They can also use OpenAI within Snowflake Intelligence to ask questions in natural-language and put insights at every employee’s fingertips—automatically taking the steps needed to retrieve and analyze business data, without requiring users to write any code themselves.
“By bringing OpenAI models to enterprise data, Snowflake enables organizations to build and deploy AI on top of their most valuable asset using the secure, governed platform they already trust,” said Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO, Snowflake. “Customers can now harness all their enterprise knowledge in Snowflake together with the world-class intelligence of OpenAI models, enabling them to build AI agents that are powerful, responsible, and trustworthy. Together, we’re setting a new standard for AI innovation, helping businesses transform with confidence, while maintaining strong security and compliance standards.”
“Snowflake is a trusted platform that sits at the center of how enterprises manage and activate their most critical data,” said Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI. “This partnership brings our advanced models directly into that environment, making it easier to deploy AI agents and apps, so businesses can close the gap between what AI is capable of and the value they can create today.”
Additionally, with Snowflake Cortex AI Functions, teams can call OpenAI models directly from SQL to analyze any kind of data. Whether it’s rows and columns, text, images, or audio, AI becomes a natural extension of the language they already know and trust.
Accelerating enterprise AI adoption
With OpenAI and Snowflake, customers can now apply powerful reasoning, analysis, and multimodal intelligence directly to their trusted data, enabling enterprises to deploy AI faster and at greater scale worldwide.
Snowflake supports organizations across a wide range of industries—including financial services, healthcare, retail, media, manufacturing, and the public sector—helping teams in every vertical use data to run their businesses more effectively. The possibilities unlocked by this partnership are already resonating with enterprises:
“As we scale our visual AI offering on Canva, both OpenAI and Snowflake have played key roles in how we rapidly empower our users with new creative tools,” said Helen Crossley, Head of Data Science, Canva. “As our platform continues to scale, Snowflake has been foundational to how we manage and activate data, and we’re excited to explore how leveraging OpenAI models in Snowflake Cortex AI can help us extend that foundation. The ability to bridge advanced AI models with our enterprise data allows us to move quickly and test new ideas, without compromising on security or performance.”
“Speed and precision in decision-making are critical for us as WHOOP continues to scale,” said Matt Luizzi, Senior Director of Business Analytics, WHOOP. “Rolling out Snowflake Intelligence to our employees and developing Cortex Agents has provided a secure and governed way for WHOOP to analyze data and make decisions.
