Snowflake Results Show Enterprises’ Desire For Anthropic Buffer
Summary
Snowflake's strong quarterly report shows that older software firms selling AI tools on top of existing products can succeed. While Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor dominate headlines in AI coding, Snowflake's earnings demonstrate a longer list of companies can offer such products. Corporate CIOs, seeking cost savings after a rapid run-up in AI spending earlier this year, may want coding tools that access multiple models rather than being locked into one controlled by a single model maker like Anthropic. Snowflake said customer accounts using its coding assistant CoCo grew at least 28% in the July quarter to 9,100.
Bubble analysis
