Plotly Studio Embedded now supports Dash MCP!

This solution solves a ton of pain points organizations are facing in delivering agentic analytics in a form factor that is both easy to rollout and also trustworthy.

Define your metrics in Python. Deliver them in an app, with a UI and an AI interface.

Congrats to @RicursiveAI in their Ripple-65B open-weight model release! Ran it through our data analytics benchmark and it performed very well, especially for it's size.

Love to see more open weight models released in the U.S.

One-shotting a data pipeline control panel with Dash and Opus 5.5 🤯

There’s an entirely new class of data visualization that is now available to anyone with a frontier class model. Think calendar heat maps, upset plots, network charts, etc. We’ve started cataloguing what you can build here: plotly.com/blog/types-of-…

55 deep dives and counting 🎉

Figma to Dash with Opus 5.5 🤯

We’ve been one-shotting Figma designs into Dash apps with their latest MCP connector and Opus 5.5. The results blew us away, and we’re really excited to recommend this workflow.

Join us for a live demo and Q&A with Athiru Pathiraja next Thursday: plotly.com/webinars/figma…

Holy moly, @particle_api 's model landed on our pareto frontier for data analytics tasks, beating out Terra-6.1 and Haiku 5.5.

First time a new player has landed on our frontier in years. Congrats @Suhail and team!

GPT-6.1 Terra joins Luna and Sol on the pareto frontier in our data analytics benchmark.

This benchmark runs through 43 data analytics tasks on a 19.9M data warehouse in the model-agnostic Plotly Studio harness.

Figma mockup → production-ready Dash app, no rebuild required.

On Nov 10 at 1pm EST, Solutions Architect Athiru Pathiraja shows how to do it live with AI agents and MCPs.

Dash is now an MCP framework. And Dash Enterprise 6.3 supports deploying, managing, and logging in to these MCP apps from your AI chat client.

MCP is a way to build a "connector" to your AI chat. Build custom connectors to serve internal data, context, semantic layers, and more ho would rather work out of a chat client than a web browser.

Here are 5 examples of MCP apps that you can build with Dash: plotly.com/blog/build-mcp…

Trying out MiniMax M3.1 for data analytics today. Best Chinese model so far, ties Opus 5.5 & Argon at 1/3rd the price. However, it uses a loooot of tokens which makes it the slowest model we've tested so far: 3 min to answer each question vs 30s. plotly.com/blog/minimax-m…

Yes, these are Plotly graphs.

@NVIDIAAI .@NVIDIAAI 's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL model is the fastest model we've tested yet 🤯

Yes, so psyched to see this! A bunch of our customers would really prefer to run US models on-prem given the choice.

Ran it through our data analytics benchmark and it's tied for the best open-weight score we’ve measured and the best yet from a US lab: plotly.com/blog/meta-muse…

Introducing DataAnalyticsBench

Our benchmark to track AI's progress in data analytics.

Most benchmarks are built for software engineering or have become benchmaxxxed.

DataAnalyticsBench is purpose built for data analytics, with trick questions, messy data, and a massive oration with researchers at @Mila_Quebec

Exciting webinar this Thursday! Presented by a member of our operations team and the product manager behind Plotly Studio, Megan Dyer and Matthew Brown show off their tips and tricks for making real-world internal apps with Plotly. Register here: plotly.com/webinars/data-…

At Plotly, 10% of our workforce have become part-time tool builders for their immediate teams. They know the data and the workflows better than anyone else, and have been building great apps and dashboards that serve their immediate needs.

It’s happening at Plotly and it’s happening across our customers. Tool builders are emerging in all areas of a company, and many don’t have formal software experience.

They key to using AI within an organization is to use code-backed tools + frameworks (AI’s killer app are coding agents) and having a secure, governed place to manage the apps. This is Dash Enterprise.

The Plotly Cloud Connector for Claude is now available!

Let your agents cook by giving them access to your Plotly Cloud account to deploy and manage apps, view logs and diagnose issues, and manage settings.

Under the hood, the Claude Connectors are just MCP endpoints that have pic and added to their catalog. You can get the same functionality in _any_ AI agent by adding our MCP endpoint to your session: cloud.plotly.com/_mcp

DataAnalyticsBench has been updated with Claude Haiku 5.5!

This is a very good model for data analytics in Plotly Studio, and the fastest model yet to pass the exam. It passes all of the well-defined data analytics tasks correctly, and only falls short in more in-depth searches use.

@MistralAI Large 4, Le Chonk, looks like a great model for data analytics.

We just ran it through our benchmark. It's 10x cheaper ($20 to $2) and improves its grade by two letters. At this rate, it'll ace the exam next year.
