Microsoft MAI-Image-2 Rankings: What the Official Release Actually Confirms

Databricks Architecture Icons

If you have ever tried to draw an architecture diagram that includes Databricks products, you know the drill. You open the Databricks website, you right-click a hero image, you get a PNG at the wrong size, you give up and use a generic database cylinder. The official artwork exists, it just is not packaged for the tools people actually diagram in. So I packaged it: https://oieduardorabelo.github.io/databricks-architecture-icons/ Databricks Architecture Icons is a community set of 71 products ac
