Data Brew by Databricks
Welcome to Data Brew by Databricks with Denny and Brooke! In this series, we explore various topics in the data and AI community and interview subject matter experts in data engineering/data science. So join us with your morning brew in hand and get ready to dive deep into data + AI! For this first season, we will be focusing on lakehouses – combining the key features of data warehouses, such as ACID transactions, with the scalability of data lakes, directly against low-cost object stores.

In this episode, Pallavi Koppol, Research Scientist at Databricks, explores the importance of domain-specific intelligence in large language models (LLMs). She discusses how enterprises need models tailored to their unique jargon, data, and tasks rather than relying solely on general benchmarks.
Highlights include:
- Why benchmarking LLMs for domain-specific tasks is critical for enterprise AI.
- An introduction to the Databricks Intelligence Benchmarking Suite (DIBS).
- Evaluating models on real-world applications like RAG, text-to-JSON, and function calling.
- The evolving landscape of open-source vs. closed-source LLMs.
- How industry and academia can collaborate to improve AI benchmarking.
