Databricks ai_decide
Databricks' new native AI function (in beta) that runs structured decisions — probabilities, choices, scores — on governed lakehouse data via SQL or a REST API.
Why it matters
Brings decision models inside the data platform's permission model: batch scoring across tables plus real-time REST calls, so regulated teams get classification without moving data to an external endpoint.
What you could build with it
A data engineering team at a bank could replace a nightly LLM classification job with a single ai_decide SQL call that tags millions of customer messages in place — same Unity Catalog permissions, structured output, and a fraction of the token bill.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge: beta only (admin-enabled, Runtime 15.4+, limited regions), no GA date or standalone pricing; the hands-on guide's calibration workflow is the practical path to trusting it.
