Snowflake Signs $200M Multi-Year AI Partnership With OpenAI to Expand Enterprise Model Choice

Snowflake announced a $200 million multi-year commercial agreement with OpenAI, deepening its push to embed advanced AI directly into enterprise data environments. Under the deal, Snowflake’s 12,600 customers gain access to OpenAI models across all three major cloud providers, while Snowflake employees will use ChatGPT Enterprise internally. The companies will also jointly develop AI agents and new AI-driven products.

CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy said the partnership enables enterprises to apply frontier AI models to governed, secure data already housed in Snowflake. Vice President of AI Baris Gultekin emphasized that Snowflake remains model-agnostic, following similar recent agreements with Anthropic, reflecting growing enterprise demand for flexibility as AI adoption accelerates.
