February 7, 2025 — Snowflake Cortex Fine-tuning — General Availability

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Cortex Fine-tuning, a fully managed service that lets you fine-tune popular large language models using your data all within Snowflake, in the following regions:

  • AWS US West 2 (Oregon)

  • AWS US East 1 (N. Virginia)

  • AWS Europe Central 1 (Frankfurt)

  • Azure East US 2 (Virginia)

Cortex Fine-tuning allows users to adapt pre-trained models to more specialized tasks. If you don’t want the high cost of training a large model from scratch but need better latency and results than you’re getting from prompt engineering or even retrieval augmented generation (RAG) methods, fine-tuning an existing large model is an option. Fine-tuning allows you to use examples to adjust the behavior of the model and improve the model’s knowledge of domain-specific tasks.
