Databricks
Platform
Databricks' tooling for building, fine-tuning, serving and evaluating models and agents on lakehouse data.
Lakehouse platform for storing, governing, querying and sharing enterprise data.
Data service
A managed hybrid semantic, keyword and vector search service (formerly Mosaic AI Vector Search) with automatic data sync and Unity Catalog governance.
Toloka
Platform
An independent evaluation platform that ranks frontier LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks using private, non-contaminated benchmarks across industry domains, scored on a pass^5 reliability metric, with the underlying RL Gyms and evaluation datasets available to license.
A self-serve service that lowers per-request inference cost through two tools - fine-tuning LoRA adapters on frozen Qwen3 base models to replace a frontier API on a narrow task, and prompt gisting that compresses long instruction prefixes into learned tokens.
Data service
Toloka's catalogue of ready-made training datasets sold outright — three named at the time of writing (Tau-bench Dataset Extension, University-level Math Reasoning, Multimodal Conversations) — as distinct from the custom data work its Platform sells.
Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.
A self-serve platform where an AI agent turns a described data goal into a full human-annotation pipeline - RLHF and preference data, data collection, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic-data validation and content-moderation QA - with LLM-based quality checks on the output.
No counterpart
Databricks sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Toloka yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
AI-native business-intelligence product comprising AI/BI Dashboards (AI-assisted dashboard/visualization creation) and Genie Spaces (conversational natural-language exploration of data), built into the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Unity Catalog governance and no per-seat licensing.
AI coworker (the evolution of the earlier Databricks Assistant/Genie) that lets business users ask questions, take action and drive outcomes over enterprise data via natural language, integrating with Slack, Teams, Jira, Google Drive and Salesforce, with mobile apps.
Agent platform
A control plane for building, evaluating, governing and monitoring AI agents across proprietary and open-source models, with native MCP support.
Developer tool
A managed service for fine-tuning open-source LLMs or training custom models on enterprise data using dedicated GPU infrastructure.
Infrastructure service
Enterprise AI gateway providing centralized cost tracking/budgets, model access (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and others), security/governance (access policies, PII/PHI filtering, audit trails), smart routing and observability across an organization's AI systems.
Model API
A managed endpoint service for deploying and governing classical ML models, generative models and agents from one interface.
Toloka sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Databricks yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
A hybrid AI-plus-human agent that takes a delegated task - research, data analysis, copywriting, design or development - has AI do the first pass, then routes it to one of 10,000+ vetted experts for verification and multi-layer QA, returning results in 2-24 hours.
