Databricks has announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to integrate Google Gemini models into its Data Intelligence Platform. This collaboration, announced in a press release, allows organizations to build, deploy, and scale AI agents using Google Gemini's advanced capabilities directly on their enterprise data within the Databricks environment.

The partnership aims to address challenges in AI deployments by combining Databricks' unified data and AI platform with Gemini's leading models.
