About

Snowflake Arctic is an advanced large language model tailored for enterprise applications by Snowflake AI Research. It features an innovative Dense-MoE Hybrid transformer architecture, combining a 10 billion parameter dense transformer with a 128 x 3.66 billion parameter MoE MLP, totaling 480 billion parameters but utilizing only 17 billion actively. This structure optimizes efficiency, particularly for tasks like SQL generation, coding, and instruction following. The model's training spanned a diverse dataset of 3.5 trillion tokens, focusing on enterprise needs. Despite its capabilities, Arctic's deployment presents challenges due to its size, and it remains vulnerable to inaccuracies with unclear inputs. Open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license, it provides comprehensive access to its weights, code, and research findings 1 2 4 5.
