H2O.ai Launches Generative AI Driven Native Apps on Snowflake Marketplace

At Snowflake Data Cloud Summit ‘24, H2O.ai unveiled native H2O ML and generative AI Apps in Snowflake Marketplace, offering seamless integrated workflows within Snowflake accounts. These apps aim to democratise access to LLMs for enterprises, enabling them to derive insights from their data more efficiently.

Sri Ambati, CEO and Founder of H2O.ai, emphasised the significance of this collaboration: “By embedding our predictive and generative AI apps into Snowflake's ecosystem, we're helping organisations get powerful insights from large language models right within their Snowflake accounts.”

H2O.ai and Snowflake are dedicated to empowering joint customers to leverage their data effectively. Three H2O ML and GenAI Bundles are now available for Snowflake users: H2O Predictive Modeling Starter Pack, H2O GenAI LLM Starter Pack, and H2O Machine Learning Starter Pack.

Key features of H2O.ai’s native applications within Snowflake Marketplace include:

• Seamless Integration: Users can utilise GenAI models directly within Snowflake Native Applications, eliminating the need for complex integrations.
• Data Enrichment: GenAI applications automatically generate new columns based on advanced calculations, enriching insights and facilitating informed decision-making.
• Predictive AI: GenAI capabilities enable sophisticated question answering and content generation based on existing data stores, enhancing traditional predictive models.

Chris Child, Senior Director of Product Management at Snowflake, highlighted the value of this collaboration: “Partners like H2O.ai can deliver valuable capabilities like enriching data and deriving insights quickly, securely, and powerfully to customers in the Data Cloud.”

H2O.ai’s integration with Snowflake Native Apps enables customers to derive insights directly from their Snowflake account where their data resides.

Jeffrey Vagg, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at North American Bancard (NAB), shared his experience: “Integrating Driverless AI and eScorer within Snowflake's cutting-edge container services and native apps has revolutionised our approach to data analytics.”

By leveraging the combined capabilities of Snowflake Native App Framework and Snowpark Container Services, developers can build sophisticated applications that run on configurable hardware options, distribute them on Snowflake Marketplace, and deploy them within customers’ Snowflake accounts, without requiring data movement.

The company had also released H2O-Danube2-1.8B LLM, which builds on the achievements of its forerunner, H2O-Danube 1.8B, incorporating significant enhancements and refinements that position it as a leader in the 2B SLM classification.
