Automatically Route Every Task to the Right Model with Unity Gateway

Databricks · Oct 30, 2026 · Product Launches

Databricks Unity Gateway automatically routes tasks to the cheapest capable model with fallback support

“We don't want to limit access to models. We want to control how they are used.”

Databricks Unity Gateway is a managed routing layer that sits in front of multiple LLMs—including GPT, Claude, and open-weight models—and automatically selects the cheapest model capable of each task while routing to fallbacks on errors or rate limits. It extends beyond model management to cover MCP tools and coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot) through a unified CLI with per-user token and request limits. This matters as enterprises seek to control rising AI costs without restricting developer access to frontier models.
