Tony Baer, dbinsight & Doug Henschen, Constellation Research | Databricks Data + AI Summit 2023
summary
Databricks shifts from warehouse pitches to pushing generative AI tooling and model ops, highlighting Uniform to bridge Delta and Iceberg and a Lakehouse Federation approach that reads and writes Parquet everywhere. Demos show an English-language SDK and Spark integrations and claim faster previews-to-GA cycles. Delta Sharing gains adoption — Delta Sharing picked up by Twilio and Oracle — while sustainability concerns surface: BLOOM cost 25 tons CO2 to train and small models still have multi‑car lifetime footprints.
