Snowflake integration with Microsoft Azure Open AI service
Did you know that Snowflake is working on integrating Microsoft Azure Open AI service? Companies that use Snowflake as their Data Warehousing solution, can now use Azure Open AI through Snowflake CortexAI - Snowflake's managed AI services. This is available not only to Snowflake clients using Snowflake on Azure. Clients from any cloud and any region can now build AI-powered apps or data agents. Open AI models will run within the security boundaries of the Snowflake data cloud, providing unified governance, access controls and monitoring. Even more interesting: there will be the opposite collaboration as well. Cortex AI agents will be available from within Microsoft Teams Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot so users can interact with their data stored in Snowflake using natural language. This integration will become generally available in June 2025
