Inside the Governed Data Platform Powering ChatGPT: OpenAI on Databricks
OpenAI runs its marketing, analytics, security, and finance operations on the Databricks Data + AI Platform across Azure and AWS, with usage data landing in Delta tables governed by Unity Catalog. OpenAI's Security team uses Databricks streaming pipelines to standardize infrastructure, cloud, and vendor audit logs into governed Delta tables for threat detection, investigation, and incident response, including Codex agents querying governed security data via SQL APIs. The marketing team uses a Bronze-Silver-Gold architecture to build audiences without writing SQL for one billion weekly active users, eliminating $400,000 per month in storage costs. Separately, Databricks and OpenAI announced a multi-year partnership bringing OpenAI's frontier models, including GPT models and Codex, natively into the Databricks Data + AI Platform, callable via SQL or API against data governed by Unity Catalog.
