How to Become an AI-Native Team

A year ago we announced that Databox is becoming an AI-first company. At the time, that mostly meant what it meant for many companies in 2025: AI becoming a strategic priority. Teams were encouraged to experiment and adopt new tools, as it was clear that AI wasn’t a trend we could ignore. That was the easy part. What’s become clear over the last year is that there’s a significant difference between being AI-first and being AI-native.

Introducing the Skills Marketplace: AI analyses on your data, with expert judgment built in

Every team we talk to has a running list of questions they wish they could get fast, reliable answers to. What changed in our performance last month and why.

Foundation First: Why Model-Agnostic Data Platforms Win

In 2024, two of the largest data platform companies, each with billions in revenue and dedicated AI research teams, invested in building their own foundation models. One spent roughly $10 million training a 132-billion parameter model on 3,072 NVIDIA H100 GPUs. The other released a 480-billion parameter model optimized for enterprise tasks like SQL generation and code. Both achieved strong results within their compute class.
