Databricks and Anthropic Partner to Bring AI Models to Businesses

Databricks, a leading data and AI company, signed a five-year partnership with AI research firm Anthropic on Thursday to integrate Claude models into its data intelligence platform. This collaboration aims to help over 10,000 businesses build and deploy AI agents using their own data.

The partnership will allow businesses to use Anthropic’s latest AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, directly within Databricks’ platform on cloud services like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and help companies create AI tools that understand and process their enterprise data more effectively.

“As demand for data intelligence grows, our partnership with Anthropic allows enterprises to unlock the full potential of their data through AI,” said Ali Ghodsi, co-founder and CEO of Databricks. “We are bringing the power of Anthropic models directly to the Data Intelligence Platform—securely, efficiently, and at scale.”

 The new integration will enable companies to use Claude models with Databricks’ AI tools, making it easier to analyse large datasets, automate complex processes, and improve decision-making.

“At Anthropic, we’re watching AI transform businesses right now—not as some future promise,” said Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic. “With Claude now available on Databricks, customers can build even more powerful data-driven agents to stay ahead in this new era of AI.”

The collaboration also focuses on responsible AI development. Businesses will have access to governance tools to manage AI use, enforce security controls, and monitor potential risks. Databricks’ Unity Catalogue will help ensure data privacy and responsible AI practices.Jackie Brosamer, VP of Data and AI platform engineering at Block, highlighted the benefits of this integration, saying, “Through our strategic partnership with Databricks, we’re able to leverage the newest and most advanced models, including Anthropic’s Claude, to power our internal AI agent.”
