Anthropic and Snowflake Expand Partnership With $200 Million Deal to Embed Claude Sonnet 4.5

The pact enables multimodal analysis with production‑ready agents inside governed data environments for thousands of corporate users.

Overview

  • Claude Sonnet 4.5, including Opus 4.5, will power Snowflake Intelligence, with customers able to build custom data agents through Snowflake Cortex Agents.
  • The capabilities will be available to more than 12,600 Snowflake customers across Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Azure.
  • Deployed agents are designed to retrieve and reason across structured and unstructured data within Snowflake’s security and governance perimeter, with tooling that shows the steps used to produce answers.
  • The companies reported greater than 90% accuracy on complex text‑to‑SQL tasks, a claim not independently verified, which implies continuing need for human oversight.
  • Snowflake described the tie‑up as a nine‑figure product‑level alignment and joint go‑to‑market effort, though the press materials did not clarify the payment flow, and analysts see it as advancing Anthropic’s enterprise‑first strategy.
