Databricks has announced the General Availability of Unity AI Gateway, a unified way to govern AI spend, security, and model choice across agents, models, MCP servers, coding agents, skills, and tools.
Whatโs new
- One control plane for AI: Manage access, traffic, policies, and governance across Databricks-hosted and external AI services without locking teams into one provider or framework.
- Clearer AI cost management: Track usage and attribute spend across users, teams, applications, models, and providers, while setting budgets, alerts, and usage controls.
- Runtime guardrails and policies: Inspect and control prompts, responses, agent actions, and tool calls to help protect sensitive data and enforce business rules.
- Open model and tool choice: Connect models, coding agents, MCP servers, and AI tools through a governed layer, making it easier to adopt new options as they become available.
- Smart Routing in Beta: Route requests across models based on factors such as quality, cost, performance, availability, and budget to help teams get more value from their AI spend.
