Genie has transformed how Databricks users work with data, with 3x the accuracy of generic agents. We're sharing some of the research behind it and what makes building data agents challenging. Super proud of our research team's impact with this! databricks.com/blog/pushing-f…

Databricks has been named one of TIME's 10 Most Influential Software Companies of 2026. The recognition reflects where intelligent analytics and enterprise AI are heading: any employee can query their data in natural language, no programming required. This innovation takes a certain kind of conviction to build. As our CEO Ali Ghodsi puts it: "To win the market, you have to have a non-consensus opinion, and you have to be right." Our next big bet: databases built for the AI era. time.com/article/2026/0…

Securing agents is one of the main bottlenecks to adoption. With Unity AI Gateway, we're making it easy to secure your agents, tools and data they access in one place. It's super easy to plug into existing agents as just an MCP and LLM proxy.

As AI reasoning gets good enough, we think memory will be the next bottleneck for agents. Can your agent improve with more experience? We call this Memory Scaling, and it's related but different from continual learning. A few examples and challenges: databricks.com/blog/memory-sc…

We're incredibly proud to congratulate our co-founder and CTO, @matei_zaharia, on receiving the ACM Prize in Computing for his development of distributed data systems that have enabled large-scale machine learning, analytics, and AI. Matei's open-source contributions have fundamentally changed how organizations work with data and AI — including Apache Spark™, Delta Lake, and MLflow. Researchers, nonprofits, startups, and enterprises across every industry have built on the foundation he helped create. Now he's pushing the frontier further, focusing on building and scaling reliable AI agents through open-source research like DSPy and GEPA. Matei, this recognition is so well deserved. We're honored to build alongside you every day. awards.acm.org/about/2025-acm…

Databricks co-founder and CEO @alighodsi joined CNBC anchor @dee_bosa on stage at HumanX today to talk about the race toward super intelligence, where enterprises should be focused instead, and what AI needs to be reliable at scale. "There is a lot of talk about super intelligence. The models are already pretty smart. But there is a reliability gap in the enterprise. The models are missing the context needed for reliable outputs. We have to give them the enterprise context they need," said Ghodsi.

When a girl says, "5 mins", think about it like there are five minutes left in the 4th quarter and both teams have all their timeouts.

Databricks CEO and co-founder @alighodsi joined @technology to discuss the launch of Genie Code, an autonomous AI agent built specifically for data teams. "Just six months ago, we were talking about autocompleting code — now agents automate the code. The new question is: how do we take the code that’s been written into production and make sure we're monitoring it?" Watch the full conversation

The news is out: @QuotientAI is joining @databricks! I'm so excited to work with @julianeagu and @freddiev4 on inventing the future of AI evals for enterprises.

@mikeyfowler18 Go off!

Yes, Bam Adebayo has 60 points through three quarters, but it’s the 0 assists number that’s really worrisome. Have to wonder if you can win with a guy like that.

Meet KARL, an RL'd model for document-centric tasks at frontier quality and open source cost/speed. Great for @databricks customers and scientists (77-page tech report!) As usual, this isn't just one model - it's an RL assembly line to churn out models for us and our customers 🧵

AI-driven development is changing the pace at which applications are built. As teams move faster, database management needs to evolve with them. Databricks co-founder @rxin on what that evolution requires: “For the vibe coding trend to take off, you need developers to believe they can actually create new apps very quickly, but you also need the central IT team or DBAs to be comfortable with the tsunami of apps and databases. Classic databases simply won’t scale to that because they can’t afford to put a DBA per database and per app.” Lakebase is built for this.
