Databricks and OpenAI have unveiled a multi-year partnership worth US$100 million that will bring OpenAI\u2019s GPT-5 and other models natively into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, powering AI agents for more than 20,000 enterprise customers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Databricks and OpenAI have announced a multi-year partnership to make OpenAI\u2019s models natively available within the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and Databricks\u2019 flagship AI product Agent Bricks. OpenAI models will be available to all 20,000+ Databricks customers across clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaboration unites two of the world’s most impactful technology companies with a US$100 million partnership to deliver frontier AI for enterprises around the world. With Agent Bricks, organisations can build, evaluate and scale production-grade AI apps and agents on their governed enterprise data leveraging OpenAI\u2019s latest models, including GPT-5, featuring state-of-the-art performance across coding, math, writing and reasoning. Under this partnership, GPT-5 will be a flagship model for all Databricks customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enterprise-ready AI apps and agents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses need AI agents that can analyse and act on their enterprise data, automate complex workflows and deliver reliable insights while meeting strict standards for accuracy, security and governance. Developing AI agents can often require copying data, juggling multiple tools, uncertain evaluation techniques or cost and quality trade-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Databricks customers now benefit from GPT-5 and OpenAI\u2019s advanced natural language processing, reasoning and complex decision-making to build high-quality, governed AI agents using Databricks Agent Bricks. OpenAI models are readily available where enterprise data already lives, requiring no extra setup and no data movement and with guaranteed high-capacity processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers use the Data Intelligence Platform and Agent Bricks to find and treat diseases earlier, identify ways to become more energy efficient, detect financial fraud, accelerate application development and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’re seeing overwhelming demand from enterprise customers looking to build AI apps and agents on their data, tailored to their unique business needs,\u201d said Ali Ghodsi, Co-founder and CEO, Databricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership makes it easier for enterprises to securely leverage their data and OpenAI models at scale with best-in-class governance and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnterprise demand for frontier AI is accelerating, and with Databricks, we’re making its deployment even simpler without compromising the high bar for performance and production,\u201d said Brad Lightcap, COO, OpenAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur partnership with Databricks brings our most advanced models to where secure enterprise data already lives, making it easier for businesses to experiment, deploy and scale AI agents with real impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Mastercard, we are focused on delivering AI solutions that make commerce safer, smarter and more personalised. Agentic solutions also make our internal operations stronger by automating processes and optimising performance across our systems,\u201d said Greg Ulrich, Chief AI and Data Officer, Mastercard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor any use case, AI agents come down to three things: quality, scale and trust. This partnership between Databricks and OpenAI enables us to build on the strong foundations we\u2019ve established with each firm and provides us the opportunity to build trusted AI agents that harness the latest OpenAI models – delivered with the speed, security and scale of the Databricks platform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnership highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Frontier models on enterprise data: Databricks customers can now bring OpenAI models directly to their enterprise data \u2014 accessible in SQL or via API \u2014 to run LLMs at scale, enrich their data and securely build high-quality custom agents.
\u2022 Dedicated high capacity: Databricks customers benefit from access to high-capacity processing across the latest OpenAI models.
\u2022 Production-ready AI agents with Agent Bricks: Agent Bricks builds production-ready AI agents by measuring the accuracy of models like GPT-5 and gpt-oss with task-specific evaluation and LLM judges. Agent Bricks then tunes and optimises the model to deliver high-quality, domain-specific outputs.
\u2022 Unified governance and built-in observability: Databricks Unity Catalog provides end-to-end governance and responsible AI controls, helping ensure compliance with security, access and ethical standards \u2014 so teams can ship agents into production with confidence.
\u2022 Collaborative innovation: Databricks and OpenAI\u2019s technical teams will work closely together to continually improve and optimise OpenAI models for enterprise use cases, ensuring high performance and rapid iteration for AI workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership builds upon the companies\u2019 existing work together, where OpenAI leverages Databricks for the processing of AI data to help generate insights that enhance product quality and elevate the ChatGPT experience. Databricks was also one of the first to host gpt-oss, OpenAI\u2019s open weight model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
