February 3, 2026, 11:02 AM EST. Snowflake announced a $200 million multi-year deal with OpenAI, giving its 12,600 customers access to OpenAI models across all three major cloud providers and enabling Snowflake employees to use ChatGPT Enterprise. The collaboration also covers building new AI agents and products on Snowflake's platform. CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy says the tie-up lets customers unlock enterprise knowledge with OpenAI's intelligence in a secure, governed environment, while preserving security and compliance. OpenAI declined to share details beyond the release. The agreement follows Snowflake's earlier $200 million deal with Anthropic, and mirrors moves by ServiceNow to partner with multiple AI providers to preserve choice. Market surveys from Menlo Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz show diverging leadership among Anthropic and OpenAI.
