Block uses Databricks Unity Gateway to run Buzz's collaborative AI agents
Overview
Databricks says Block uses its Unity Gateway to power Buzz, Block's open source workspace where employees and AI agents work together.
According to Databricks, the gateway gives Buzz access to a range of frontier and open-weight models through one integration. Users pick the model or coding harness for each agent when they create it.
Databricks reports that Block engineers have tested a more capable model coordinating a team of agents built on smaller, more efficient models. The account comes from a Databricks blog post, not an independent evaluation.
