AI Infrastructure
Databricks
Databricks is the unified data and AI platform built around the open-source Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and MLflow projects. The company shipped DBRX as a competitive open-weight LLM in 2024 and operates the Mosaic AI training and inference platform inside the Databricks Lakehouse, positioning itself as the data-and-AI vendor for enterprises that want models trained on their own data.
Why this matters in 2026
The June 2023 MosaicML acquisition and the March 2024 DBRX release moved Databricks from a data platform that hosts AI work to a vendor that builds and ships its own foundation models. Enterprise AI hiring at the Mosaic AI tier commands a premium because production training know-how is scarce.
