Snowflake Cortex is a fully managed, intelligent AI service integrated directly within the Snowflake Data Cloud. Rather than exporting massive enterprise datasets to external GPU clusters for processing, Cortex brings the compute (LLMs and ML models) directly to the data. Utilizing robust underlying GPU infrastructure abstracted entirely from the user, it allows data analysts to run foundational models, vector searches, and fine-tuning using simple SQL or Python commands. It is the ultimate platform for secure, data-centric AI.

Pros & Cons
