🏗️ Stack Spotlight: What’s New in GenAI Infrastructure
1. Databricks Streamlines LLMOps
At Data + AI Summit 2025, Databricks released new tools to bridge development and production—reducing plumbing overhead so engineers can focus on model logic en.wikipedia.org+2medium.com+2github.com+2.
2. MCP: Standardizing Tool Access
Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol launched late 2024 and is now baked into OpenAI, DeepMind, Microsoft kernels and 5,000+ MCP servers. This open standard simplifies how agents call tools and manage context—though security concerns remain en.wikipedia.org.
3. Gemini’s “Deep Think” Era
Google rolled out Gemini 2.5 Flash (default June ‘25) and Pro versions, adding native multimodal, audio output, and advanced reasoning capabilities. This is a turning point for mid‑to‑long‑context intelligent assistants en.wikipedia.org+1en.wikipedia.org+1.
