Natively built within IBM watsonx.ai, […]
Bringing Python to iOS and Android with BeeWare
Twenty years ago, “computing” meant a desktop box or laptop. Today, your smartphone is likely the most powerful computer you carry—always with you, packed with sensors, cameras, and GPS capabilities that traditional machines can’t match. Yet despite this shift, Python developers have been largely locked out of this crucial platform. If a phone is just […]
Exploring the Latent Space of Programming Styles: How Persona Prompting Unlocks Hidden AI Capabilities
There are no solved problems; there are only problems that are not yet solved.” – [Attributed to, possibly apocryphally] John Carmack At Anaconda, we’re constantly exploring how to help developers get the most from AI tools. When generating code with Large Language Models (LLMs), the quality of output can vary dramatically based on subtle prompt differences. […]

Building a Panel Dashboard with Snowpark for Python: Snowflake for Data Scientists
Data scientists often use SQL to interact with a data warehouse, but then often rely on Python for data discovery, visualization, and modeling. How great would it be if we can interact with a data warehouse directly with our preferred tools in Python? Snowflake now natively supports Python with Snowpark for Python. It enables us […]
Using Copilot in Excel with Python
For business professionals and analysts, Excel has long been the go-to tool for handling data.
