GPT-6 Sol and Luna available in public preview on Snowflake Cortex AI

# What was announced

Snowflake posted that OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna are now available in public preview on Snowflake Cortex AI through Cortex Inference. Support for these models will be added soon to Cortex AI Functions, Snowflake CoCo, Snowflake CoWork, and Cortex Agents. Snowflake emphasizes that all calls execute within its security and governance perimeter.

# Luna differ

Sol and Luna are presented as two choices for enterprise use:

• Sol: the stronger option for complex professional and technical work that needs deeper reasoning across several steps.
• Luna: designed for responsive execution at scale where speed and cost efficiency matter.

Both models are described as improvements over GPT-5.6 on professional work, factuality, coding, computer use, and alignment.

# What you can do now

The announcement highlights several use cases Snowflake plans to enable:

• Build personal work agents with Snowflake CoWork (coming soon): personal agents that understand a user's data and produce finished reports and briefs within the governed environment.

• Build agentic applications with Cortex Agents: use the agents framework to create experiences grounded in enterprise data.

# Code examples included

The post contains two concrete snippets:

• A Python OpenAI SDK example showing client initialization with a Snowflake PAT and base_url pointing to a Snowflake account endpoint, plus a chat completion call that sends text and an image_url payload to model="openai-gpt-6-sol".

• A SQL example (illustrative, not yet available) using SELECT AI_COMPLETE('openai-gpt-6-luna', PROMPT(...)) to summarize financial filings stored in a table.

# Operational and legal notes

Snowflake's post includes a forward-looking statement disclaimer noting product availability and features may change and are not commitments. The authors credited are Ali Taha, Danmei Xu, John Bae, and Arun Agarwal.

# Practical next steps for teams

• If you already use Cortex Inference, test GPT-6 Sol and Luna through your Snowflake account endpoint using your Snowflake PAT.
• Follow Snowflake's announced timelines for Cortex AI Functions, CoCo, CoWork, and Cortex Agents if you plan to run NL-in-SQL workflows or personal/agentic applications inside Snowflake.
• Review Snowflake's governance and security controls to confirm model calls meet your compliance requirements before moving models into production.

# Bottom line
