Overview

• OpenAI models, including GPT‑5, are becoming natively available in the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and Agent Bricks with governed, secure access.
• Enterprises can call GPT‑5 via SQL or through Model Serving APIs, enabling agents that reason over proprietary data without separate setup.
• Databricks confirmed a multi‑year $100 million commitment to OpenAI, and TechCrunch reported the deal includes a minimum payment obligation regardless of revenue.
• GPT‑5 is positioned as the flagship model for more than 20,000 Databricks customers, with additional GPT‑5 mini and nano options slated for availability.
• Both companies will run joint engineering efforts to build feedback loops and Databricks‑specific optimizations, which OpenAI’s Brad Lightcap framed as the firm’s first formal integration with a business‑focused product vendor.
