Snowflake Integrates Gemini Into Cortex AI

Snowflake is adding Google's Gemini models to its Cortex AI platform, offering customers a public preview of Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash starting Tuesday. By running Gemini natively inside Snowflake, customers can perform cross-region inference across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, query enterprise data in SQL, and build agents under Snowflake’s consumption-based pricing model.
Key Points
- 1Adds Gemini models (Gemini 3 Pro, 2.5 Flash) to Cortex AI via public preview
- 2Enables native cross-cloud inference across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud for data residency
- 3Allows analysts to query enterprise data with Gemini directly in SQL and build data-backed agents
Scoring Rationale
Official Gemini integration delivers direct enterprise usability and multicloud inference, but it's an incremental platform expansion, not transformative.
