GPT-6 Sol and Luna on Snowflake Cortex AI
Snowflake has announced public preview availability of GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna within its Cortex AI platform, accessible through Cortex Inference with additional deployment paths (Cortex AI Functions, Snowflake CoCo, CoWork, and Cortex Agents) coming soon. Calls operate inside Snowflake’s governance and security perimeter, reinforcing data protection and compliance. Sol targets complex professional and technical tasks, delivering higher fidelity and efficiency, while Luna emphasizes rapid, scalable execution. The two models build on the GPT-5.6 lineage, aiming to improve professional productivity, factual accuracy, coding, and user interaction. This integration signals Snowflake’s push to embed advanced AI capabilities directly within its data cloud, potentially reducing data movement, enabling on-platform inference, and offering tighter governance for enterprise workloads. The rollout could influence enterprise adoption of AI copilots, highlighting the importance of secure, governance-first AI deployments in cloud data ecosystems.
