Databricks CEO hits back at Snowflake: You're not doing AI, why not come buy our AI tokens
Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi responded on X to Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy's challenge, saying Snowflake "isn't doing the AI thing," suggesting it obtain model tokens for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and xAI through Databricks, and promoting Unity Gateway, which provides model routing, budget management and access control. Ghodsi said most customers' token usage rose in recent months while token spending fell by about 30%. Ramaswamy had earlier demanded that Databricks disclose data such as growth excluding pass-through inference revenue, free cash flow and profit margins, and responded by saying, "I asked about revenue, I'm not here to contribute revenue."
