Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, and Mistral AI, one of Europe’s leading providers of AI solutions announces a global partnership to bring Mistral AI’s most powerful language models directly to Snowflake customers in the Data Cloud. Through this multi-year partnership, which includes a parallel investment in Mistral’s Series A from Snowflake Ventures, Mistral AI and Snowflake will deliver the capabilities enterprises need to seamlessly tap into the power of large language models (LLMs), while maintaining security, privacy, and governance over their most valuable asset — their data.

Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO,  Snowflake says, “ By partnering with Mistral AI, Snowflake is putting one of the most powerful LLMs on the market directly in the hands of our customers, empowering every user to build cutting-edge, AI-powered apps with simplicity and scale. With Snowflake as the trusted data foundation, we’re transforming how enterprises harness the power of LLMs through Snowflake Cortex so they can cost-effectively address new AI use cases within the security and privacy boundaries of the Data Cloud.”

Arthur Mensch, CEO and co-founder, Mistral AI says, “Snowflake’s commitments to security, privacy, and governance align with Mistral AI’s ambition to put frontier AI in everyone’s hand and to be accessible everywhere. Mistral AI shares Snowflake’s values for developing efficient, helpful, and trustworthy AI models that advance how organizations around the world tap into generative AI.

"With our models available in the Snowflake Data Cloud, we are able to further democratize AI so users can create more sophisticated AI apps that drive value at a global scale," adds Mensch.
