External models
Databricks Model Serving now offers support for external models, enabling you to seamlessly access, govern, and manage third-party hosted models known as external models. This functionality empowers you to create endpoints for interacting with models hosted outside the Databricks environment, including but not limited to Azure OpenAI GPT models, Anthropic Claude Models, or AWS Bedrock Models. Once configured, teams and applications can be granted access to these models, allowing them to query through a standardized interface without the need to expose credentials.
