Get hands-on with agents, vibe coding and more at Data+ AI Summit
Data + AI Summit returns to San Francisco from June 14 through June 18, 2026, with Databricks Training and Certification offering more than 20 hands-on courses across AI agents, vibe coding, data engineering, and Lakebase. Training-exclusive days on Sunday and Monday are designed to provide dedicated learning time, while sessions continue during the conference week. New courses cover agentic development with Genie Code, Claude Code, Cursor, MCP servers, and structured prompting; production agent deployment with MLflow’s ResponsesAgent framework and tracing; Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines; and AI/BI dashboards and Genie Spaces. Onsite certification exams cost $100 plus taxes, a 50% discount, and seven listed exams are available. The Learning Hub adds labs, skills assessments, customized learning plans, and community access.
Pratyarth RaoGoverning coding agent sprawl with Unity AI Gateway
Databricks introduces coding agent support in Unity AI Gateway to address security, cost, and visibility challenges created by organizations using multiple coding tools. The gateway provides a unified governance hub for Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI, combining access controls, usage statistics, operational observability, cost management, guardrails, and inference capacity. Agent access can be governed centrally, with audit logs in Unity Catalog, MCP servers managed in Databricks, MLflow tracing, shared cost limits, and coding metrics and traces ingested into Unity Catalog-managed Delta tables through OpenTelemetry. The announcement says developers can authenticate with Databricks credentials across connected services, use centralized budgets and model capacity, and let organizations analyze adoption, developer velocity, and rate-limit pressure in the lakehouse; support for Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Codex CLI is available to all Databricks customers.

The post argues that banks’ difficulty scaling AI stems less from model capability than from fragmented data, weak governance, and limited real-time access. Examples from CBA Live 2026 include model drift in credit scoring, fragmented customer signals, and a collections model that predicted, with 85% accuracy, how many days newly delinquent accounts would take to cure using governed data. It also presents Erica’s 3.2 billion interactions since 2018 as evidence that production AI requires continuous tuning, monitoring, and edge-case management, while generic models decay in frontline settings. The proposed Databricks architecture combines Lakehouse, Unity Catalog, Lakeflow, Lakebase, MLflow, Model Monitoring, Online Feature Store, Genie, and Agent Bricks to support governed analytics, low-latency decisions, auditable models, and constrained agent actions. Its conclusion is that a shared data platform should precede additional AI use cases because it improves deployment speed, trust, explainability, and regulatory defensibility.
Naeem Rehman, Jennifer MillerAgent Bricks: The governed enterprise agent platform
Agent Bricks is presented as Databricks’ enterprise platform for building, deploying, and governing agents that operate on business data under real identities, permissions, and operational constraints. The platform combines multi-model and framework support, execution, routing, fallback, cost optimization, and unified governance through Unity Catalog and AI Gateway, including on-behalf-of token passing and observability across data, models, MCPs, and APIs. Its context layer uses metadata such as schemas, business definitions, lineage, permissions, and data-quality signals, while Genie Spaces, Document Intelligence, Knowledge Assistant, and Agent Mode address structured and unstructured business information. The announcement includes general availability for Document Intelligence, Custom Agents on Apps, and Supervisor Agent, plus AI Gateway guardrails, managed OAuth MCP Connectors, web search, and MLflow’s CLEARS evaluation framework; the post reports 70% higher accuracy than standard RAG and a 30% improvement in multi-step workflows.
