Big news! @databricks agreed to acquire @MosaicML to democratize even further DATA + AI. Build your own models/LLMs on a cost effective and secure way.
1/3 Lately, I have been talking to so many CISOs and their security teams. There is a clear trend. While Data security is generally well understood, AI security is not. Security teams are catching up on MLops, model training, training datasets, model serving, ...
2/3 @databricks has gone through this already and we have a very good understanding of the field. Happy to help!
Are you curious about Data + AI security? What about model generation and serving security best practices? What about security use cases for Generation AI and LLMs?
3/3 @databricks is hosting the Data + AI Summit Jun/26-29 and our security team will be there to engage with you.

Excited to launch the first two #LLM MOOC courses with @edXOnline. Learn about prompt engineering, vector embeddings, retrieval, chains, and MLOps. Learn how to create your own LLM from scratch on a data lakehouse!

Two weeks after we first introduced Dolly, we're back with more: @databricks releases Dolly 2.0, the first open, instruction-following large language model for commercial use bit.ly/3zXOzjC via @VentureBeat @sharongoldman tip @Techmeme

I can’t tell which I’m more excited about, Dolly 2.0 or the fact that we’re giving away the 15k instruction tuning records, created by thousands of Databricks employees in the last two weeks, we used to train it.
Free and licensed for commercial use! 🐑

Free Dolly! With a true open data set for others to build on top. Game changer
Free Dolly! Introducing the first *commercially viable*, open source, instruction-following LLM. Dolly 2.0 is available for commercial applications without having to pay for API access or sharing data with 3rd parties. bit.ly/43oXmsy
Great read, congrats @wiz_io team!
I hacked into a @Bing CMS that allowed me to alter search results and take over millions of @Office365 accounts.
How did I do it? Well, it all started with a simple click in @Azure… 👀

There is a very big difference between B2C and B2B in regards to customer reaction and company viability post breach
This is a great thread. I cannot agree more with the "leave your egos apart, focus on survival not on valuation"

Super excited to be here in NYC for the @databricks CDO Forum. Sold out!
I can't wait to deliver my talk around "Securing the Data in your Lakehouse" and network with the fantastic audience.
It has been a pretty amazing week. Nothing big just a small set of tiny nuggets here and there. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Looking fwd to the next couple of weeks and Databrick's security leadership offsite and planning how to conquer the world.
Listen to Nico, he is right here. Vuln management should be outcome driven... reduce risk by mitigating discovered vulns within the minimum time possible. Not having accurate data, wastes time in the short term and impacts the long run by diminishing trust in the effort.
