Databricks Mosaic AI
AI InfrastructureDatabricks' suite for building, governing, and serving production AI — agents, RAG, fine-tuning, and evaluation — on top of your governed data.
Overview
Mosaic AI is the AI layer of the Databricks platform, and its defining advantage is proximity to data: models, agents, RAG, fine-tuning, model serving, and evaluation operate on data already governed by Unity Catalog, with lineage and access control intact. For enterprises whose data already lives in a lakehouse, that closes the usual gap between the data platform and the AI stack. It is a platform commitment, not a point tool — most compelling for organizations already invested in Databricks, and a heavier lift for anyone who is not.
