Snowflake and OpenAI Seal $200 Million Deal to Embed GPT Models in Enterprise Data Platform

The pact embeds OpenAI’s latest models inside Snowflake’s governed platform across all three major clouds to power production AI agents on customers’ own data.

Overview

  • OpenAI models, including GPT-5.2, will be available through Snowflake Cortex AI and Snowflake Intelligence as first‑party integrations across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
  • Joint engineering will integrate OpenAI’s Apps SDK, AgentKit and APIs to let enterprises build agents that query governed data and automate workflows without code.
  • Snowflake characterized the agreement as up to $200 million in purchased access to OpenAI’s frontier models and ChatGPT Enterprise over multiple years.
  • Early adopters such as Canva and WHOOP are using the offering for research, analytics and internal decision‑making.
  • The deal extends Snowflake’s model‑agnostic strategy and gives OpenAI a distribution path beyond Microsoft as competition with platforms like Databricks intensifies.
