But they both relate.
Tony BaerHOST
13:38
And what it really comes down to is really who owns the semantics and the thing is that that's kind of a deep question because one is who in the organization owns the semantics but also basically in terms of what platform owns the semantics because we're really seeing you know as i said what i've been saying this year and nothing is nothing has changed this is that we're seeing these expanding sort of semantic spheres of influence and of course you guys basically play a sort of switzerland role and now here's a little doozy that just stopped and i'm sure you're just you're well aware of it but You know, Databricks has had Delta sharing for a number of years, which they've shared as an open protocol as opposed to, let's say, Snowflake.
Tony BaerHOST
14:16
They've just announced basically that they're going more foundational with this with an open sharing project.
Tony BaerHOST
14:22
And so I won't necessarily unless you unless you've been up to speed on that, I won't ask about that specifically.
Justin BorgmanGUEST
14:42
I think data sharing, I think, is certainly interesting.
Justin BorgmanGUEST
14:49
And in some cases, it's even a business model, if you will, where people are monetizing their data and sharing it for that purpose.
Justin BorgmanGUEST
15:01
I think at the end of the day, though, the architectural optionality is still a critical aspect to this because the Databricks ecosystem, while they will open source various components to various degrees, is still an ecosystem that really wants you to be exclusively in Databricks.
Justin BorgmanGUEST
15:24
And that's the way they sell.
Naveen RaoGUEST
3:06
So took off really fast.
Naveen RaoGUEST
3:07
We decided to actually join forces with Databricks.
Naveen RaoGUEST
3:10
Um, that was in twenty twenty-three.
Naveen RaoGUEST
3:12
And, and, uh, actually that's a quarter of the total revenue of, of Databricks today.
Naveen RaoGUEST
3:17
So, um, a lot of fun doing that whole thing with, uh, Ali and team at Databricks.
Naveen RaoGUEST
3:22
And now I want to tell you about Unconventional AI, which is rethinking the foundations of how a computer works.
Naveen RaoGUEST
3:28
So the-- we're going back to first principles here to really try to build a new machine.
Christian LopezGUEST
25:09
The biggest one recently, SpaceX.
Christian LopezGUEST
25:11
And now we're looking at Anthropic and OpenAI and Databricks and several of these really large mega-scale deals are coming to the market.
Christian LopezGUEST
25:19
What does that do from a technical standpoint? It sucks up a lot of the capital that's available for these new issues out there, and it forces other issuers, other companies that are looking to go public to potentially wait on the sidelines until that capital becomes available.
Christian LopezGUEST
25:36
So how does that impact the broader markets? Well, from a retail standpoint, it doesn't really affect it.
speaker_0HOST
57:29
What is your way of cost accounting?
Chris PowerGUEST
57:31
It's nothing fancy, it's just that very few growth funds or venture capital funds can accurately understand a manufacturing balance sheet and how we think about it which is very different not like we're making up our own accounting rules but we do we do think about it very act it's a first principles way of thinking about where costs are in manufacturing where they aren't and it's correct but you're tapping a venture market that's used to investing in product companies like Anduril or SaaS companies like Databricks, both of which carry almost no capex.
Chris PowerGUEST
58:14
And manufacturing accounting and gap accounting and revenue recognition is extremely different than any other business model.
Chris PowerGUEST
58:24
And it's not that venture investors are dumb, it's just that they've never seen it before.

JR LasakHOST

David WangGUEST

The head of North America Professional Services happened to be in front of me in the immigration line going to Sao Paulo, Brazil one day.
Mike RosenbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Mike RosenbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
1:00
So I tap him on the shoulder and ask the question, did you get this at a Databricks event because you're a customer or do you work there? And he said he worked there.
Mike RosenbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
1:08
I said, oh, this is going to be the longest time you've ever spent in the immigration line with anybody.
Mike RosenbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
1:12
So...
Mike RosenbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Mike RosenbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Mike RosenbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
1:27
And you know, that would have been August of 2025 when I ran into him, which was a year into my journey of trying to find Databricks people to help me.

We help mid to large size companies in the US with their various data problems.
Darren GoonawardanaGUEST
3:01
So we're helping them with some specific technology with Microsoft and with Databricks and things like that by simply enabling them to bring all of their data together to get a single version truth on what their business is doing and for them to make better decisions based upon that.
Darren GoonawardanaGUEST
3:19
And really the reason I started it and founded it with my co-founder was because there wasn't any companies at the time that were really focusing purely around that and encapsulating that.
Gavin BarfieldGUEST
11:51
I'll just briefly mention that on structured data, You can bring this in through what we call zero copy.
Gavin BarfieldGUEST
11:56
So if you have data lake houses, Snowflake, Databricks, Google BigQuery, you don't have to copy it.
Gavin BarfieldGUEST
12:01
You can simply federate and bring this in through zero copy.
Gavin BarfieldGUEST
12:04
But really, the key is unstructured data.
Bridger PenningtonGUEST

These companies are multi-hundred billion dollar companies or trillion dollar companies.
Bridger PenningtonGUEST
