Snowflake Releases Arctic: A New Open Source LLM

Snowflake, a major provider of cloud data solutions, has made a significant move into the AI domain with the introduction of Arctic, its large language model (LLM) boasting 480 billion parameters.

Prior to this, Snowflake introduced only some features allowing to use and integrate with other LLMs (like OpenAI) within its tools, but didn’t went till releasing their own LLM.

Hence, this marks a major milestone for Snowflake and positions Snowflake as a new (key?) player in this competitive landscape.
