Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Claude 3.5 Sonnet as the first Anthropic Foundation model available on Snowflake Cortex AI. Customers can now access the most intelligent models in Anthropic’s Claude model family using familiar SQL, Python, and REST API (coming soon) interfaces within the Snowflake security perimeter. This native integration enables data and engineering teams to efficiently tackle some of the most common challenges in AI adoption, including data governance, privacy, and integration, according to a 2024 MIT Technology Review Insights poll. You can.
Sonnet 3.5 for Cortex AI enables businesses to further unlock the potential of their data through conversational assistants and language processing at scale. Claude’s advanced language model further enhances the way developers build agents that can perform ad-hoc analysis, extract answers from documents and other knowledge bases, and perform other multi-step workflows. You can use models next to managed data to build applications within Snowflake’s security perimeter. Ease of use combined with a trusted environment accelerates the delivery of enterprise-ready AI.
Snowflake launches Cortex AI, a suite of integrated capabilities and services that includes fully managed LLM inference, fine-tuning, and RAG for structured and unstructured data, allowing customers to process unstructured data alongside structured data. Now you can quickly analyze and build AI apps faster. A unified AI and data platform makes it easy for many organizations to turn AI concepts into reality within days. Organizations of all sizes and industries can now enable a wide range of use cases, from text summarization and sentiment analysis to developing powerful AI chatbots.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the foundational model for AI safety and research company Anthropic. This model raises the industry bar for intelligence, outperforming competitive models and the Claude 3 Opus in a wide range of evaluations, including the SWE Bench’s new cutting-edge product, Software Engineering Evaluation. Claude 3.5 Sonnet outperforms industry benchmarks for graduate level reasoning (GPQA), undergraduate level knowledge (MMLU), and coding proficiency (HumanEval). They also performed better by grasping nuance, humor, and complex instructions. Claude 3.5 Sonnet’s combination of inference capabilities and performance makes it ideal for complex tasks like providing contextual customer support and coordinating multi-step workflows.
