Snowflake’s response to “enterprise grade” LLM – Snowflake Arctic
April 24, 2024 | Big Data, CIO Corner, Snowflake
Today Snowflake announced the release of their enterprise grade LLM called Arctic. The Snowflake AI Research Team announced their enterprise grade LLM “that pushes the frontiers of cost-effective training and openness.”
According to the article “Arctic offers top-tier enterprise intelligence among open source LLMs, and it does so using a training compute budget of roughly under $2 million (less than 3K GPU weeks).” According to the press release the training of the LLM took under 3 months to develop. The implications of these efficiencies according to the article means “…Arctic is more capable than other open source models trained with a similar compute budget.” Furthermore, “…the high training efficiency of Arctic also means that Snowflake customers and the AI community at large can train custom models in a much more affordable way.”
The article goes further to document some KPIs to show Artic is on par and even better than both LLAMA 3 8B and LLAMA 2 70B on enterprise metrics such as performance, while being 17x more cost competitive. For enterprise metrics, Arctic demonstrates top-tier performance compared to all other open source models regardless of the compute class and is the best open source model for various enterprise-wide use cases. See Snowflake Arctic’s performance/cost ratio in comparison to other industry LLMs in the figure below.
These innovations in addition to other recent announcements show how Snowflake is delivering game-changing capabilities to empower the enterprise Data Cloud.
