Together Open Data Scientist
An AI-powered data analysis assistant that follows the ReAct (Reasoning + Acting) framework to perform comprehensive data science tasks. The agent can execute Python code either locally via Docker or in the cloud using Together Code Interpreter (TCI).
⚠️ Experimental Software Notice
This is an experimental tool powered by large language models. Please be aware of the following limitations:
- AI-Generated Code: All analysis and code is generated by AI and may contain errors, bugs, or suboptimal approaches
- No Guarantee of Accuracy: Results should be carefully reviewed and validated before making important decisions
- Learning Tool: Best suited for exploration, learning, and initial analysis rather than production use
- Human Oversight Required: Always verify outputs, especially for critical business or research applications
- Evolving Technology: Capabilities and reliability may vary as the underlying models are updated
🚀 Quick Start
Install Together Open Data Scientist using PyPI
pip install open-data-scientist
Run Together Open Data Scientist using command line and TCI
# export together api key export TOGETHER_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" # run the agent open-data-scientist --executor tci --write-report
📖 Example Output
Our Open Data Scientist can perform comprehensive data analysis and generate detailed reports. Below is an example of a complete analysis report for molecular solubility prediction (see [the example](examples/solubility_prediction/)):
Report Example


🤖 Install from Source
Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or higher
- uv - Fast Python package manager
- Together AI API key (get one at together.ai)
- Docker and Docker Compose (for local execution mode)
Installation
Clone the repository:
cd open-data-scientist
Install the package:
# Install uv (faster alternative to pip) curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh # Create and activate virtual environment uv venv --python=3.12 source .venv/bin/activate uv pip install -e .
Set up your API key:
export TOGETHER_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
(Optional, needed when using docker for code execution) Docker Mode Setup
⚠️ Important: Docker mode has session isolation limitations and security considerations for local development. (1) Session isolation: While user variables are isolated between sessions, module modifications and global state changes affect all sessions. (2) Host directory access: The container has read-write access to specific host directories. (3)Best for: Single-user local development and data analysis workflows. For detailed technical information, security warnings, and setup instructions, see the [Interpreter README](interpreter/README.md). 1. launch docker service:
cd interpreter docker-compose up --build -d
2. Stop services:
docker-compose down
Usage
1. Command Line Interface (CLI): The easiest way to get started is using the command line interface
# Basic usage with local Docker execution open-data-scientist # Use cloud execution with TCI open-data-scientist --executor tci # Specify a custom model and more iterations open-data-scientist --model "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3" --iterations 15 # Use specific data directory open-data-scientist --data-dir /path/to/your/data # Combine options open-data-scientist --executor tci --model "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct-Turbo" --iterations 20 --data-dir ./my_data
CLI Options
| Option | Short | Description | Default | |--------|-------|-------------|---------| | --model | -m | Language model to use | deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 | | --iterations | -i | Maximum reasoning iterations | 20 | | --executor | -e | Execution mode: tci or internal | internal | | --data-dir | -d | Data directory to upload | Current directory (with confirmation) | | --session-id | -s | Reuse existing session ID | Auto-generated | | --help | -h | Show help message | - | | --save-trace | - | Save query/execution trace as log-trace_*.jsonl and a Markdown log log-trace_*.md in the current directory | Disabled |
2. Python API: For programmatic usage, you can also use the Python API directly
from open_data_scientist.codeagent import ReActDataScienceAgent
# Cloud execution with TCI
agent = ReActDataScienceAgent(
executor="tci",
data_dir="path/to/your/data", # Optional: auto-upload files
max_iterations=10
)
# Local execution with Docker
agent = ReActDataScienceAgent(
executor="internal",
data_dir="path/to/your/data", # Optional: auto-upload files
max_iterations=10
)
result = agent.run("Explore the uploaded CSV files and create summary statistics")🎯 Execution Modes
The ReAct agent supports two execution modes for running Python code:
| Feature | TCI (Together Code Interpreter) | Docker/Internal | |---------|--------------------------------|-----------------| | Execution Location | ☁️ Cloud-based (Together AI) | 🏠 Local Docker container | | Setup Required | API key only | Docker + docker-compose | | File Handling | ☁️ Files uploaded to cloud | 🏠 Files stay local | | Session Persistence | ✅ Managed by Together | ✅ Local session management | | Session Isolation | ✅ Independent isolated sessions | ⚠️ Limited isolation (see below) | | Concurrent Usage | ✅ Multiple users/processes safely | ⚠️ File conflicts possible | | Dependencies | Pre-installed environment | Custom Docker environment | | Plot Saving | ✅ Can save created plots to disk | ❌ Plots not saved to disk |
⚠️ Important Privacy Warning
TCI Mode: Using TCI will upload your files to…
