Snowflake AI Research introduces Snowflake Arctic, a large language model tailored for enterprise workloads.

Available under the Apache 2.0 license, Snowflake Arctic allows for flexible use in personal, research, and commercial projects.

The model boasts cost efficiency with a training cost under $2 million, undercutting the expenses of leading models.

Snowflake Arctic utilizes a Dense-MoE hybrid transformer architecture to teach both general and complex tasks.

For convenience, it will be accessible for serverless inference on Snowflake Cortex and Amazon Web Services, and on platforms like Hugging Face.

The model's introduction marks a significant step in AI innovation, aiming for transparency and collaboration in enterprise AI, and is part of Snowflake's broader investment in AI partnerships.
