Snowflake and NVIDIA are teaming up to further empower enterprise customers with an AI platform that combines the full-stack NVIDIA accelerated platform with Snowflake’s Data Cloud.
Announced at GTC 2024, the collaboration is designed to accelerate AI productivity and fuel business transformations across every industry.
“Data is the fuel for AI, making it essential to establishing an effective AI strategy. Our partnership with NVIDIA is delivering a secure, scalable and easy-to-use platform for trusted enterprise data,” said Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO of Snowflake.
“Enterprise data is the foundation for custom AI applications that can generate intelligence and reveal new insights. Bringing NVIDIA accelerated computing and software to Snowflake’s data platform can turbocharge enterprise AI adoption by helping customers build, deploy and manage secure generative AI applications,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
Snowflake and NVIDIA previously announced the NVIDIA NeMo integration that will let Snowflake customers utilise NVIDIA NeMo Retriever directly on their proprietary data in Data Cloud while maintaining data security, privacy and governance seamlessly through Snowflake’s built-in capabilities.
NeMo Retriever enhances the performance and scalability of chatbot applications and can accelerate time to value for more than 400 enterprises already building AI applications with Snowflake Cortex. The expanded collaboration will also include the availability of NVIDIA TensorRT software to deliver low latency and high throughput for deep learning inference applications to enhance LLM-based search capabilities.
NVIDIA accelerated compute powers several of Snowflake’s AI products, including Snowpark Container Services, Snowflake Cortex LLM Functions, Snowflake Copilot, and Document AI that helps enterprises use LLMs to easily extract content such as invoice amounts or contractual terms from documents and fine-tune results using a visual interface and natural language.
