Databricks partners with Anthropic to integrate Claude AI models into its platform
AI and data analytics company Databricks has formed a five-year strategic partnership with Anthropic AI.
The two companies are teaming up to integrate Anthropic’s Claude AI models into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
The integration will give Databricks customers access to the latest model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, via Amazon Web Services, Azure, and Google Cloud.
The partnership is designed to help enterprises build, deploy and evaluate AI agents. However, it’ll also ensure those businesses can do so with accuracy, security and access control.
Businesses will be able to customise the Claude models with their enterprise data and enterprise tools. The companies are also promising retrieval augmented generation to boost accuracy and limit hallucinations.
Databricks, which counts more than 10,000 customers including Comcast, Conde Nast and Block among its clientele, is valuing the partnership at $100 million. The company is hoping the partnership will increase its customers’ returns on investment.
“Databricks’ partnership with Anthropic enables enterprises to unlock their data’s potential through AI,” said Ali Ghodsi, CEO of Databricks.
“AI is transforming how we do business today, but we’re on the cusp of something even bigger: AI agents that can independently execute complex tasks on our behalf,” said Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic.
The partnership comes after rival Snowflake recently teamed up with Anthropic and Microsoft to offer Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The competition in this space is heating up.
