Databricks Mosaic Research DBRX outperforms OpenAI GPT-4 on realistic, domain-specific benchmark datasets. For example, on a customer support summarization use-case👇👇👇
Still neck and neck but it shows that open models can be the no-brainer choice for actual enterprise applications.

Okay Databricks what're you cooking behind this space its so fast lmao

Today we released an open source model, DBRX, that beats all previous open source models on the standard benchmarks. The model itself is a Mixture of Experts (MoE), that's roughly twice the brains (132B) but half the cost (36B) of Llama2-70B. Making it both smart and cheap. Since…

🚨 Announcing DBRX-Medium 🧱, a new SoTA open weights 36b active 132T total parameter MoE trained on 12T tokens (~3e24 flops). Dbrx achieves 150 tok/sec while clearing a wide variety of benchmarks. Deep dive below! 1/N

A good listen about the foundational product (spark) of a foundational software company (databricks). well done Reynold Xin and great interview Sudip Chakrabarti

DONDA is the new FAANG

Deepmind
Open AI
Nvidia
Databricks
Anthropic

This is the first time that I talked extensively about Apache Spark's history, design philosophies, and the evolutions. Over the years, there have been a lot of misconceptions (why it came into existence, memory vs disk). This should explain all of them.

Databricks Vector Search is in public preview!

Augment your #LLM apps and synchronize source data, eliminating the need to write and maintain separate data pipelines.

Find out why our customers already love it and how you can easily get started 👇 dbricks.co/3R9m2A1

Today, more than 80% of the table metadata updates on Databricks are AI-assisted. It took 2 engineers, 1 month, and less than $1000 in compute cost to develop the custom LLM for this task. databricks.com/blog/creating-…

The founders of Databricks put together this strategy blog on where we think data platforms are headed in the future. We're moving Databricks quickly in this direction. This is very exciting and is the outcome of the MosaicML acquisition we did earlier this year!…

“ Solid understanding of Spark and ability to write, debug, and optimize Spark code.  “

I was today years old when I discovered that openAI relies heavily on Spark.

At Replit, we extensively use Spark on Databricks for all our training data work.

We run highly customized transformations on code like parsing, deduping, PII redaction, code filtering, tokenization, and more, written with low-level Spark primitives.

High quality data is key.

The trade-offs of Query Optimization is a *perfect* problem for #AI . Chief Architect Reynold Xin walking us through new prediction optimizations in Databricks!
