Databricks has struck a new strategic collaboration agreement with AWS that the data and AI specialist said will accelerate the development of custom models built with Mosaic AI.

Building on the pair’s existing collaboration, the expanded agreement will see Databricks leverage AWS Trainium chips to power its Mosaic AI model training and serving capabilities on AWS.

In an announcement, the firm said joint customers will be able to securely pretrain, fine-tune, augment, and serve large language models (LLMs) on their private data.

“Generative AI is disrupting every industry and a company’s data will ultimately be its competitive advantage,” said Ali Ghodsi, co-founder and CEO at Databricks.

“Strengthening our collaboration with AWS allows us to provide customers with unmatched scale and price-performance so they can bring their own generative AI applications to market more rapidly.”

The new SCA expands a long-standing relationship between the two companies that has seen Databricks’ AWS business surpass $1 billion run rate. Notable joint customers include Block, Rivian, and Sega.

Databricks said this success has been fueled in part by AWS Marketplace, where the total contract value has doubled on an annualized basis over the last two years.
