SAN FRANCISCO, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Databricks, the Data and AI company, today announced an expanded collaboration and commitment to deeper technical integrations with NVIDIA during the company’s flagship GTC 2024 conference. Together, Databricks and NVIDIA will optimize data and AI workloads on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. The collaboration builds on NVIDIA’s recent participation in Databricks’ Series I funding round.

“We’re thrilled about the evolution of our partnership with NVIDIA that will drive more value for customers through the advancement of Databricks workloads with NVIDIA accelerated computing and software,” said Ali Ghodsi, co-founder and CEO at Databricks. “From analytics use cases through AI, NVIDIA has already powered our foundational model initiatives, and with our mutual work on query acceleration, we’ll be able to demonstrate value for more enterprises.”
“Every company’s proprietary data is a crucial asset for creating intelligence in the era of AI,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “By accelerating data processing, NVIDIA and Databricks can supercharge AI development and deployment for enterprises seeking greater insights and better outcomes with more efficiency.”
GPU acceleration for end-to-end generative AI solutionsOrganizations are rapidly adopting Databricks’ Data Intelligence Platform to build and customize generative AI solutions trained on their data and tailored to their business and domain. Databricks Mosaic AI and NVIDIA are collaborating on model training and inference to advance the state of building and deploying generative AI models on Databricks’ end-to-end platform. Databricks offers a comprehensive set of tools for building, testing and deploying generative AI solutions with uncompromising control and governance over both data and models.
For generative AI model training, Databricks Mosaic AI relies on NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, which are optimized for developing LLMs. Mosaic AI is able to harness the power of NVIDIA accelerated computing and offer an efficient and scalable platform for customizing LLMs for customers.
For model deployment, Databricks leverages NVIDIA accelerated computing and software throughout the stack.
