Provider native APIs

Provider native APIs give you direct access to provider-specific API surfaces when you need features beyond the unified OpenAI-compatible APIs. Use native APIs to access the latest provider-specific features or to migrate existing provider SDK code to Databricks.

Requirements

• See Requirements.
• Install the appropriate package to your cluster based on the provider you choose.
