Latest update (11-12 09:59): Block uses Databricks Unity Gateway to power collaborative AI agents in Buzz

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.
