Databricks Announces Strategic AI Partnership with Google Cloud to Bring Gemini Models Natively to the Data Intelligence Platform
Google Gemini 2.5 represents a new milestone in AI reasoning and performance, excelling at complex, multi-step decision making and natural language understanding. The latest Gemini models, including Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash, now achieve leading performance on key industry benchmarks. Databricks customers will also get access to the recently introduced "Deep Think" mode for advanced reasoning and robust security safeguards. As native products in Databricks, Gemini models will be accessible to customers directly through SQL queries and model endpoints, eliminating the need for data duplication or integrations, creating a seamless experience. Customers can pay for Gemini usage through their Databricks contract.
"By using Google's Gemini models directly on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, organizations can build and scale AI agents tailored to their specific domains and data," said Ali Ghodsi , Co-founder and CEO of Databricks.
