BY MIKE WHEATLEY, Silicon Angle
Cloud data warehouse heavyweight Snowflake Inc. is looking to make its presence felt in the generative artificial intelligence arena with the debut of its own, open-source large language model, designed to compete with the likes of OpenAI’s GPT-4, Google LLC’s Gemini, Meta Platforms Inc.’s Llama 2 and Mistral AI’s Mixtral.
The company claims Snowflake Arctic is the most open, enterprise-grade LLM available today. What’s more, the company says, it’s also among the most powerful, aided by an up-and-coming “mixture of experts” architecture that optimizes it to perform a wide range of enterprise use cases.
