Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 is now available on Unity Gateway

The Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 language model is now natively supported within the Databricks ecosystem. You can send query requests directly through Unity Gateway using the model service name or pay-per-token endpoints within your workspace. ### Use cases Imagine you need to integrate advanced artificial intelligence capabilities into analytical workflows or enterprise applications without managing custom AI server infrastructure. With this addition, you can:- Query the Claude Opus 5.5 model directly from within Databricks.- Use Unity Gateway to centralize access to foundation models.- Execute pay-per-token calls against workspace endpoints. ### How to use To interact with the model programmatically, use the Databricks APIs in your notebook. pythonimport mlflowfrom databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClientw = WorkspaceClient()response = w.serving_endpoints.query( name="databricks-claude-opus-5-5", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain the concept of data mesh."}] )print(response) What happens in this code: 1. Imports and initializes the Databricks SDK workspace client. 2. Sends a query request pointing to the model endpoint. 3. Returns the structured response generated by Claude Opus 5.5. ### Limitations and requirements Customers are responsible for ensuring their compliance with applicable model terms from the provider. Feature and region availability may vary depending on workspace configurations and the pay-per-token supported models table.
