Snowflake has released Arctic, an open-source large language model (LLM). The data cloud company added that the LLM is available for immediate use through its Snowflake Cortex platform, in addition to model gardens like Hugging Face, Microsoft Azure and Nvidia’s API catalogue. Arctic will be used for serverless inference, said Snowflake, as well as afford developers the ability to build production-grade AI apps at scale using its data cloud. 

“This is a watershed moment for Snowflake, with our AI research team innovating at the forefront of AI,” said Snowflake’s chief executive, Sridhar Ramaswamy. “By delivering industry-leading intelligence and efficiency in a truly open way to the AI community, we are furthering the frontiers of what open-source AI can do. Our research with Arctic will significantly enhance our capability to deliver reliable, efficient AI to our customers.”
