Move from tokenmaxxing to valuemaxxing with unified AI governance and cost control

The last six months have seen a rapid rise in AI-powered productivity and a proliferation of agents across the enterprise. While these agents can transform knowledge work, they also introduce critical challenges at the intersection of cost, control and choice:
These challenges are further exacerbated by widespread agent sprawl, with organizations attempting to manage multiple AI tools and thousands of custom agents across disjointed platforms.
Enterprise systems have not caught up to these challenges. This is why we are excited to announce the General Availability of Unity AI Gateway. Unity AI Gateway gives enterprises the cost, control, and choice levers they need to manage AI spend and enforce security across AI agents and assets everywhere, whether it is a coding agent, an MCP, an external agent, a skill, or a model. Thousands of customers, like Rivian, Asana, and Edmunds, already use Unity AI Gateway to roll out AI responsibly across their organizations, and over a quadrillion tokens have passed through our gateway in the past year. We at Databricks use Unity AI Gateway internally to manage spend across thousands of employees who each have access to multiple leading AI tools.
