Databricks says smart routing cut its internal AI coding costs by 35%

Databricks engineer Ivan Zhou says the company's internal smart routing is significantly cutting AI coding costs — so seamlessly that many engineers didn't notice it was on — with the feature coming to Databricks Unity Gateway soon.
The quote-tweet doubles as a plug for Databricks AI Gateway: day-0 access to open and proprietary models, 35% savings on internal coding via smart routing, and team-level spend tracking and budgets. Useful data point, but clearly promotional.
