Genie One just got a major set of updates across context, data access, collaboration, and automation. 🧞 Here's what you can do now: • Ask questions with business-aware context built in. Genie Ontology is enabled by default • Apply your org's data conventions to every prompt with workspace instructions • Upload Word docs, images, CSVs, spreadsheets, and PDFs directly into your workflow • Query Unity Catalog tables inside Genie with schema preview and one-click access requests • Automate recurring work with scheduled tasks that reference past runs for consistent outputs @YoussefMrini walks through all of it in under 3 minutes: piped.video/watch?v=hRayT1rQ…

Ever tried getting Claude Code and Codex to actually work together without playing copy-paste between terminals? @leonvz takes Omnigent, our new open-source meta-harness, for a spin to show how multiple coding agents can share sessions, rules and security policies in one system. He demos forking work across agents, multi-agent review and debate with Debby, and splitting implementation across subagents with Polly. Watch the full walkthrough: piped.video/watch?v=gYtQ1LKS…

What changes when more of your Postgres working set stays in DRAM instead of falling through to slower cache and storage layers? For fixed-size Lakebase Postgres computes with CU >= 80, we now set shared buffers to 75% of DRAM and disable the local file cache, keeping hot pages in the lowest-latency access path. In production, large endpoints have seen up to 2x throughput, fewer reads from the storage layer and lower latency after the change. See how we’re improving Lakebase Postgres compute caching: databricks.com/blog/improvin…

Everyone has been obsessed by Jev and what it can do, and they should be! Fast typed decisions >> slow text generation. It's a complete game changer. But how do you do that with all the data you have? We just dropped 𝚊𝚒_𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚍𝚎(), which runs decision models natively on all your data in @databricks . Now you can run system one decisions on all your big data, see screenshot. databricks.com/blog/introduc…

Not every marketer is familiar with Databricks today, but that's about to change! Marketing agents simply do not work without real-time customer+business context. Databricks' CustomerLake is quickly becoming the cornerstone of the marketing stack of the future, providing just that. It was great discussing all of that on stage at Braze's Forge conference. Thank you for having me, @jon_hyman!

Coding tasks aren’t equally difficult, so why send every one to the same model? Smart Routing evaluates each task separately and selects the lowest-cost model capable of doing the job, helping balance model quality, latency and cost. In this demo, Omnigent splits an app build across planning, backend and frontend work, routes each task to a different model, and runs some of them in parallel.

🎉 Introducing Databricks AI Decide: make fast decisions on your governed data Following the TypeSafe AI Jev launch, we’ve seen increasing demand for a fast, low-cost API that turns raw text into structured decisions. However, many of our enterprise customers are unable to use Jev due to data privacy and access concerns. AI Decide is our enterprise-grade function for fast decisions on customer’s governed data. It is supported for batch use cases like processing millions of documents with SQL and for realtime applications like model routing through our REST API. Starting early next week, customers will also be able to govern permissions on the ai_decide function through Databricks Unity Gateway. A big shoutout to @mattydtweetz @ivanzhouyq @nihit_desai @hanlintang for getting this new function launched in less than a week!

How much of your AI workload is really just making a decision? ai_decide is a new Databricks AI Function built for fast, structured decisions over governed data. It classifies, scores and chooses what happens next in a fraction of a second, with lower latency and cost than an LLM on similar tasks. Use it for model routing, document processing, agent evaluations and real-time app logic 🐍 databricks.com/blog/introduc…

Agentic apps are putting new pressure on the data stack. Join Databricks Co-founder and Chief Architect @rxin to explore why Postgres is the foundation for a new data processing architecture, and how LTAP lets transactions and analytics read from the same copy of data. Learn how to: - Bring agent memory, application state and historical data under the same permissions - Remove sync intervals as a bottleneck in the agent memory loop - Maintain compatibility with existing Postgres drivers, extensions and ORMs You’ll also see the architecture in action through demos and enterprise patterns. Live November 10–12. Register now: databricks.com/resources/web…

Excited to announce our new partnership with @DecagonAI to bring richer enterprise data intelligence directly into customer conversations. AI agents are only as useful as the context they can access. Enterprises already have an incredibly rich record of their customers in Databricks. Orders, payments, product usage, preferences, and countless other signals all help explain who a customer is and what they need. Through this partnership, Decagon agents can access governed data from the Databricks when they need it, while insights from those conversations can flow back into Databricks and become useful across the rest of the business. We’re excited to work with the Decagon team to make enterprise customer agents more context aware while keeping data governance at the center. decagon.ai/blog/decagon-and-…

We’re partnering with @Databricks to bring enterprise data intelligence into every Decagon customer conversation. Agents can access governed customer data directly from a company’s lakehouse, while conversation insights flow back into Databricks. This gives agents richer context in every conversation and teams a more complete view of their customers. Decagon is also a launch partner for Databricks’ new Transactable Marketplace and will be available through Databricks Marketplace.

Two new frontier models just landed on Databricks. @OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol and @SpaceXAI Grok 4.7 are both live today. GPT-6.1 Sol leads the cost-quality Pareto frontier on OfficeQA Pro v2. Grok 4.7 reaches the frontier at enterprise document parsing. Two benchmark leaders, available the day they ship. Frontier models are shipping faster than ever. Unity Gateway keeps you right there with them. It picks the right model for the right task, governs every call, and controls costs across GPT-6.1 Sol, Grok 4.7, and 60+ other frontier and open models already on Databricks. Try GPT-6.1 Sol and Grok 4.7 today: docs.databricks.com/aws/en/r…

AI doesn’t have an intelligence problem. It has a context problem. When business context is scattered across dashboards, documents, tickets and chats, users struggle to get fast, trusted answers and data teams stay stuck fielding ad hoc requests. See what it takes to close that gap with a unified context layer that helps AI deliver trusted answers, act autonomously and give teams back time. Go under the hood of Genie Ontology and see the approach in action with a product demo. Watch on-demand: databricks.com/resources/web…

We've moved to an approach @databricks that gives "Day 1" access to 12,000 employees whenever a new frontier model is released. Very tricky to do while avoiding massive cost spikes and quality regressions. We've written up our approach if others are interested (see below).

At Databricks, we want employees using the best models on Day 1. That means moving quickly when models like Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol launch, while evaluating real-world usage and managing the cost impact across thousands of employees. Our AI engineering team uses Unity Gateway to manage access, spend and model selection at scale, then determines which models belong in our AI stack. Learn how we roll out frontier models across Databricks: databricks.com/blog/how-data…

.@AnthropicAI's Claude Sonnet 5.5 is now available on Databricks across AWS, Azure and GCP, governed by Unity Gateway. It improves efficiency over Sonnet 5 for coding and agentic use cases, and reached Opus 5-level accuracy on document understanding, parsing and search. It joins Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Fable 5.1 and 60+ open-source and frontier models on Databricks. Build domain-specific agents with Agent Bricks, deploy them as Databricks Apps with Lakebase-powered memory, and govern every call through Unity Gateway.
