Google Cloud and Snowflake expand collaboration

Snowflake has expanded its collaboration with Google Cloud, connecting its data and AI platform with Google’s AI technologies to help accelerate enterprise innovation.

This includes the availability of Google Cloud’s Gemini 3 natively within Snowflake Cortex AI, bringing Google’s proprietary large language models (LLMs) to Snowflake’s secure, governed data environment.

Customers can now develop, deploy, and scale generative AI applications, including intelligent Data Agents enabled by Gemini, directly in Snowflake without moving or copying data across platforms.

The expanded collaboration also deepens go-to-market alignment between Snowflake and Google Cloud, enabling joint customer engagements, new co-sell opportunities, and the ability to transact through Google Cloud Marketplace.

The companies will collaborate across global markets, with the recent launch of Snowflake on Google Cloud in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and upcoming launch of Snowflake on Google Cloud in Melbourne in early 2026.

Another advancement is the production availability of Snowflake Gen2 Warehouses on Google Cloud Axion-based C4A VM machines, a major infrastructure upgrade delivering notable price-performance benefits.

“Through this partnership, Google Cloud and Snowflake are empowering enterprises to innovate faster,” said Michael Gerstenhaber, Google VP of agents, API and Vertex AI.

“By bringing Gemini models natively into Snowflake, customers can use the world’s most advanced generative AI capabilities on their governed data, unlocking new insights and automation opportunities across industries.”

“Google has long set the standard for innovation and large-scale infrastructure, remaining at the forefront of the generative AI revolution,” said Christian Kleinerman, EVP of product for Snowflake.

“By combining Google Cloud’s industry leadership with Snowflake’s ability to bring AI directly to enterprise data, we’re empowering customers to move faster, innovate more freely, and redefine what’s possible through data and AI.”
