From Zero to One: Building An Autonomous and Open Data Scientist Agent from Scratch
Jun 12, 2025
Summary
This post details the end-to-end implementation of an autonomous data scientist agent using Together's open-source models and the Together Code Interpreter (TCI). It follows the ReAct pattern with CodeAct, where the agent generates Python code for actions. The post highlights the safety and modularity provided by TCI, the flexibility of prompt engineering for tuning agent behavior, and the ability to dynamically install libraries. It also presents a CLI tool for triggering the agent and showcases an example of molecular solubility prediction.
