Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Why the Frontier Ecosystem must be Open — Matei Zaharia and Reynold Xin, Databricks · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

Someone would make a nice

you know, agent app, and then other teams would ask, oh, can I just use yours for my agent?

Yeah.

One of the reasons to open source something is if you think it's a layer, there'll be some network effect.

It'll benefit from many people collaborating on it.

For example, with Spark, I don't know if you know, when Spark came out,

We also focused a lot on letting you have libraries on top.

So like they used to be different distributed computing engines for like machine learning and graph computation.

We said they should all be libraries that you can compose.

And we made it super easy to add connectors to data sources too.

And then we benefit because, you know, we don't have the time to write like connectors to like, you know, a thousand like different databases and file formats, but we can just use the ones people make.

And of course they benefit from joining

you know, kind of this thing.

So that's like one of these.

Another way to think about it is like, imagine, you know, our thing wasn't open.

We had some kind of agent hosting thing, but it's not open.

And then there is an open one.

Which one is going to win in the long run?

So like here, because there is this benefit from like people writing integrations, it'll be that.
