Keynote Analysis
summary
Databricks announces Unity Catalog open source as the new metadata source of truth (repo public now, Polaris in 90 days), with unified governance, masking, metrics and lineage that aim to federate other systems and make catalogs control access instead of databases. Tabular acquisition and a stated $2 billion push prioritize Delta interoperability over Snowflake compatibility. Demos claim a 73% Databricks SQL performance lift, show LakeFlow Connect pipelines, Mosaic for multi‑model app building, and a model strategy favoring many small LMs rather than one giant frontier model.
