Open-sourcing Metals v2: Databricks’ Java and Scala language server for multi‑million line codebases
Databricks claims most of its code is now written by AI agents
“Most code at Databricks is now written by agents.”
Databricks is open-sourcing Metals v2, its Java/Scala language server designed for multi-million line codebases, citing the rise of agent-driven development as a core motivation. The buried lede is the claim that most Databricks code is now agent-written, which if true represents a significant operational milestone for a major AI company. This positions Metals v2 as infrastructure for the agentic coding era, not just a developer tooling release.
