Ghodsi played the long game better than almost anyone in enterprise tech. While everyone was distracted by chatbots, he built the data layer that every enterprise AI deployment actually needs. The $62B valuation isn't AI hype — it's the recognition that Databricks owns the plumbing. The Mosaic ML acquisition and open-source model strategy (DBRX) are smart bets that the enterprise wants AI capabilities without total dependence on frontier model providers.
