How do I integrate third-party ML/AI libraries with Databricks GenAI workflows?

How can I use external AI libraries inside my Databricks GenAI projects?

[Raman_Unifeye]

Yes, you can use external AI libraries in your Databricks GenAI projects by installing the necessary packages onto your compute resource and integrating with external models/services. Databricks provides multiple scopes for library installation to manage your dependencies.

AI libraries can be used in by installing them in notebooks or clusters, storing models in Unity Catalog Volumes, and integrating APIs via secrets.

Yeah Exactly

You can use third-party ML/AI libraries in Databricks GenAI by installing them on your cluster or notebook (%pip install library-name), importing them in your code, and then integrating their outputs into your GenAI workflows. For large models, use a GPU cluster and manage dependencies via requirements.txt or MLflow for reproducibility.
