Snowflake Signs Massive $6 Billion AWS Deal as AI Demand Explodes

[cryptohog]

Cloud data giant Snowflake has signed a new five-year agreement worth $6 billion with Amazon Web Services, marking one of the biggest AI-driven cloud infrastructure deals of the year. The deal highlights how rapidly enterprise demand for AI computing and data services is accelerating across the cloud industry.

Snowflake says customer spending on AWS doubled in 2025 alone, reaching roughly $2 billion as companies increasingly use AI tools like Cortex AI to analyze and automate data workflows. The agreement will also give Snowflake greater access to Amazon’s Graviton chips, AWS’s in-house processors designed to deliver cheaper and more efficient AI-related computing.

The partnership also signals a broader shift happening in the AI race. While Nvidia still dominates AI hardware, cloud giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are aggressively building their own chips to reduce dependence on Nvidia and capture a larger share of the booming AI infrastructure market.
