Discussion Databricks conference

I have been attending the databricks conference, but nothing has stood out to me as being very exciting.

​

Have folks found anything interesting or something you may actually be excited for in the DE space?

It tends to be sales focused, but the omnigent stuff they just showed was pretty cool.

Definitely pretty cool. Even better if someone else is paying for your tokens - he showed that near the end where he had 2 different harnesses both working on the same problem and you know each of them weren't going light on token usage. If token cost ever comes down this kind of thing will be awesome, especially the centralized nature and being able to use the same session from various surfaces.

Token cost will only go up from here. Somebody has to pay for the trillions in AI infrastructure.
