Anthropic and Snowflake Ink $200 Million Multi-Year Deal to Expand Claude AI Access

December 3, 2025

Details

  • Anthropic and Snowflake have entered a multi-year strategic partnership valued at around $200 million to strengthen their collaboration.
  • The Claude AI suite, including the latest Claude 3 models, is now fully integrated within Snowflake’s Data Cloud, reaching over 12,600 enterprise users through both the console and APIs.
  • Customer data remains within Snowflake’s secure environment while Anthropic performs AI inference locally, ensuring encryption, role-based access, and compliance with regional data residency requirements.
  • The partnership roadmap features co-developed, sector-specific Claude models for industries like finance, healthcare, and retail, plus deeper integrations with Snowpark, Java UDFs, and Snowflake Cortex.
  • Claude usage credits will be bundled into Snowflake’s consumption pricing, offering Anthropic predictable revenues and dedicated GPU resources as part of the agreement.

Impact

This deal steps up the fight against Microsoft’s Fabric-OpenAI and Google’s Gemini-powered BigQuery, compelling competitors to match robust, in-cloud privacy standards. By embedding Claude directly in Snowflake, the partnership eases AI adoption for mid-market and regulated sectors while supporting global data privacy regulations. Anthropic secures stable funding beyond its existing alliances, fueling its innovation pace in an increasingly competitive AI landscape.
