“We are excited to be working with Cortex AI to bring our models to more customers around the world who are eager to innovate with AI technologies,” said Ori Goshen, AI21’s CEO and Co-founder. “With Cortex AI’s serverless experience, data security, and governance, we know our customers will be in good hands.”
This partnership follows AI21’s launch of Jamba, the world’s first production-grade Mamba-style model that is setting a new standard for efficiency and performance. With the largest context window in its size class of 256K, Jamba outperforms other state-of-the-art competitive models across a wide range of benchmarks including efficiency, quality, and scalability. With this large context window, capable of processing the equivalent of a 400-page novel, Jamba-Instruct, the enterprise-ready version of Jamba, excels in tasks such as question answering, document summarization, and building chatbots for sustained and reference-based conversations. Deploying Jamba-Instruct on an accessible platform like Cortex AI will enable high-powered, valuable long context use cases for any Snowflake customer.
“With AI21’s groundbreaking Jamba-Instruct offered in Cortex AI our customers will now be able to seamlessly connect their data to build transformative GenAI applications with AI21’s powerful models,” said Baris Gultekin, Head of AI at Snowflake. “We are excited to further our partnership with AI21, driven by our shared dedication to simplifying and ensuring the reliability of Gen AI solutions for enterprises. Looking ahead, we anticipate incorporating more of AI21’s model offerings into Snowflake Cortex AI.”
