Today, we’re proud to announce Databricks as the new sponsor of Cal Bears Field! 🐻
All seven of our co-founders are Cal alumni. The earliest lines of what would become Databricks were written at Berkeley’s Soda Hall, fueled by late nights and a shared belief that data and AI could accelerate human progress.
This sponsorship is our way of investing in the next generation of researchers and builders who’ll have their own breakthroughs there.
Our mission has always been to democratize data and AI. It started at Cal. We’re glad to help it continue there.
Go Bears. 💙

Today, we announced that we crossed $7B in revenue run-rate, growing over 80% year over year in Q2.
We also shared:
🚀 $100M+ revenue run-rate for Lakebase
🚀 $1.5B+ revenue run-rate for Lakehouse, growing over 100% year over year
🚀 Continued positive adjusted free cash flow
And we raised $5B in our latest fundraise.
We’ll use this capital to invest in:
1️⃣ Lakebase, our serverless Postgres database built for AI agents
2️⃣ Genie, our AI coworkers that actually understand your business data
3️⃣ Unity AI Gateway, our multi-AI governance solution that helps control costs

Free Dolly! Introducing the first *commercially viable*, open source, instruction-following LLM. Dolly 2.0 is available for commercial applications without having to pay for API access or sharing data with 3rd parties. bit.ly/43oXmsy

We are open sourcing Dolly, a ChatGPT-like model that can do instruction following, created for $30, trained 3 hours on 1 server. The secret in magical human-like interactivity probably lies in a small dataset.

Today I learned changing random stuff until your program works is “hacky” and “bad coding practice” but if you do it fast enough it’s Machine Learning and pays 4x your current salary
