Databricks Unity Gateway Now Monitors and Caps External Model Provider Costs
Databricks has enhanced Unity Gateway to track and cap spend on external model providers like Amazon Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry, extending beyond Databricks-provided models. This new capability positions Unity Gateway as a single control point for managing usage and enforcing spend limits across teams, particularly beneficial for organizations with existing capacity commitments. Users can enable this feature via the "External Model Spend" setting within Budgets (Beta) on the account console's Previews page. It requires selecting "Include external model usage" when creating a budget for Unity Gateway resources.
