Snowflake Arctic is a new open-source language model from Snowflake. Arctic is on-par or better than both Llama 3 8B and Llama 2 70B on all metrics while using less than half of the training compute budget.It’s massive. At 480B, Arctic is the biggest open-source model to date. As expected from a model from Snowflake, it’s good at SQL and other coding tasks, and it has a liberal Apache 2.0 license.With Replicate, you can run Arctic in the cloud with one line of code.

Try Arctic in our API playground

Before you dive in, try Arctic in our API playground.

Try tweaking the prompt and see how Arctic responds. Most models on Replicate have an interactive API playground like this, available on the model page: https://replicate.com/snowflake/snowflake-arctic-instruct

The API playground is a great way to get a feel for what a model can do, and provides copyable code snippets in a variety of languages to help you get started.
