Scale AI coding agents while controlling costs with ug – the Unity Gateway CLI
Databricks' Unity Gateway CLI lets enterprises govern and cost-control AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex.
“From 0 to 60% I use Claude Code and the models are available there. 60 to 80% of the time I use Codex and a specific system model. And if I'm hitting 80-100% of my budget, I want to use a cheaper model like Kimmy.”
Databricks demoed Unity Gateway (UG CLI), an admin tool for distributing and governing AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex across an enterprise, with centralized control over allowed models, MCP servers, skills, and budgets. Its 'smart router' automatically downgrades to cheaper models as spending thresholds are hit, signaling growing enterprise demand for governance and cost management of AI coding agents at scale.
