BIG NEWS: #ChatGPT breaks #Python vs #R Barriers in Data Science!

Data science teams everywhere rejoice.

A mind-blowing thread (with a FULL chatgpt prompt walkthrough). 🧵

#datascience #rstats
It's NOT R VS Python ANYMORE!

This is 1 example of how ChatGPT can speed up data science & GET R & PYTHON people working together.

(it blew my mind)
This example combines #R, #Python, and #Docker.

I created this example in under 10 minutes from start to finish.
I’m an R guy.

And I prefer doing my business research & analysis in R.

It's awesome. It has:

1. Tidyverse - data wrangling + visualization
2. Tidymodels - Machine Learning
3. Shiny - Apps
But the rest of my team prefers Python.

And they don't like R... it's just weird to them.

So I wanted to see if I could show them how we could work together...
Let’s start with a prompt.

I asked chatgpt to find a data set that I used for this example. Image
...ChatGPT found it... Image
... And gave me this code to read the data... Image
I prefer the tidyverse, so I asked Chatgpt to update the code. Image
That looks better. Image
With the data in hand, it’s time for some Data Science.

I asked this simple question. Image
ChatGPT's response was impressive. Image
But, even though I’m an R guy, my team uses Python for Deployment…

In the past, that’s a huge problem.

(resulting in days of translations from R to Python with Google and StackOverflow)
But now, that’s 1 minute of effort with chatGPT.

Can I show you?
I asked chatgpt to convert the R script to python... Image
And in 10 seconds chatgpt made this python code with pandas and scikit learn. Image
ChatGPT did in 10 seconds something that would have taken me 2 hours.

But let’s continue.

The reason we had to convert to Python is for “deployment”

Deployment is just a fancy word for allowing others to access my model so they can use it on-demand.
So I asked chatGPT this: Image
And ChatGPT made me a Python API using FastAPI. Image
But this code is useless…

… Without a docker environment.

So I asked chatGPT to make one: Image
And chatGPT delivered my Docker Environment's Dockerfile: Image
So in under 10 minutes, I had ChatGPT:

1. Make my research script in R.

2. Create my production script in Python for my Team

3. And create the API + Docker File to deploy it.
But when I showed my Python team, instead of excited...

...They were worried.

And I said, "Listen. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"ChatGPT is a productivity enhancer."

They didn't believe me.
My Conclusion:

You have a choice. You can rule AI.

Or, you can let AI rule you.

What do you think the better choice is?
If you want help, I'd like you to join me on a free #ChatGPT for #DataScientists Workshop on April 26th. And I will help you Rule AI.

What's the next step?

🚨McKinsey just dropped how to build agentic AI (that works)

Here's everything you need to know in 2 minutes: Image
1. Stop building agents; Start fixing workflows

The mistake every organization makes: falling in love with your new AI agent.

The solution: Identify the pain points in your process. Then use agents to connect analytics and gen AI into 1 seamless process.
2. Not everything needs an Agent

Stop agent-ifying everything.

Ask: "Is this a problem that actually needs solving with agents?"

Alternatives to Agents:

- Automation
- NLP
- Basic Gen AI
- Predictive Analytics

This 277-page PDF unlocks the secrets of Large Language Models.

Here's what's inside: 🧵 Image
Chapter 1 introduces the basics of pre-training.

This is the foundation of large language models, and common pre-training methods and model architectures will be discussed here. Image
Chapter 2 introduces generative models, which are the large language models we commonly refer to today.

After presenting the basic process of building these models, you explore how to scale up model training and handle long texts. Image

RIP BI Dashboards.

Tools like Tableau and PowerBI are about to become extinct.

This is what's coming (and how to prepare): Image
I've never been a fan of Tableau and PowerBI.

Static dashboards don't answer dynamic business questions.

That's why a new breed of analytics is coming: AI Analytics. Image
AI + Data Science is the future:

AI tools like:

- LangChain
- LangGraph
- OpenAI API

Are being combined with:

- SQL Databases
- Machine Learning
- Prediction

And the results are exactly what businesses need: real-time predictive insights. Image

A Research Scientist at Google DeepMind just dropped a 58 page paper on building agents that specialize in game theory.

Here are the most important parts: Image
The problem with existing agents - You need to prompt the LLM to generate actions.

But this doesn't work in games that have perfect or imperfect information.

Instead, they implement a trick:
To describe a complex "world model", researchers simplify as a Partially Observed Stochastic Game.

It's represented below as a causal graph. Image

Stanford just dropped a 457 page report on AI.

It's packed with data on: cost drops, efficiency, benchmarks, adoption.

This report is a cheat code for your career in 2026.

I pulled the most important charts + what they mean for your career: 🧵 Image
First: this isn’t “AI hype.”

It’s measured trends on what’s getting cheaper, what’s getting better, and what’s spreading across the economy and regulation.

(Bookmark this. You’ll reuse it.)
1. Cost + efficiency

The quiet story of 2025: AI is getting dramatically cheaper + more efficient.

The report estimates price-performance improved ~30% per year and energy efficiency improved ~40% annually.

That’s why AI is moving from “demo” to “default.”
