From the TrueFoundry dashboard, navigate to `AI Gateway` > `Models` and select `Snowflake Cortex`. Navigating to Snowflake Cortex Provider Account in AI Gateway Click `Add Snowflake Cortex Account`. Give a unique name to your Snowflake cortex account and complete the form with your Snowflake cortex authentication details (PAT Token) and account identifier for snowflake. For more details on account identifier check [here](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-account-identifier). Then add collaborators to your account. You can read more about access control [here](/docs/ai-gateway/gateway-access-control). Snowflake cortex account configuration form with fields for API key and collaborators Click on `+ Add Model` to open the form for adding a new model. For Snowflake cortex, you don't select from a list. Instead, you need to get the `Model ID` from their [docs](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-cortex/aisql) page. Snowflake Cortex docs showing available models with ids Use this `Model ID` when adding the model in TrueFoundry.
