The Best AI Agent for Data Science and Machine Learning (March 2025)

Recently I feel like much less productive when doing data science work when I do more software development. I think it is because I use AI effectively when building software. So I setup a test to find the best AI coding assistant to help with Data Science task. The result is a bit surprising for me: None of the popular AI agent works for data science. Although the demo looks gorgeous, Google Gemini in Colab fail pretty bad. But there are some tools that has potential and some are already a bit useful. Check article for more detailed analysis.
