We made LLMs play The Price Is Right — with real-world CPG prices.

50 models. One goal: bid as close as possible without going over.

🤖 Some nailed it
💸 Some flopped hard

Everyone can do ML. Few can do Bayesian modeling.

Set yourself apart with skills that drive deeper insight + better decisions.

Join the next Applied Bayesian Modeling Workshop by PyMC Labs. Hands-on. Practical. Real-world.

Modern marketing needs faster answers & safer testing.

Recently at databricks #DataAISummit we shared two real tools:
⚙️MMM Agent → insights in hours, not weeks
🧪Consumer Lab → test pre-launch ideas with synthetic panels

Not theory. Already live.
DM for a pilot.

🚨 We’re opening our private Bayesian modeling workshops to the public — for the first time

After this course, you won’t just build better models.

You’ll know how to explain them — to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike

🎓 Led by top PyMC experts.

📉 Market data is messy. Traditional models assume too much.

With PyMC, finance teams can:

✅ Quantify uncertainty
✅ Handle skewed, fat-tailed data
✅ Improve VaR, pricing & more

✍️ Writing a PyMC model isn’t easy — even for pros.

So we built ModelCraft — an AI modeling agent that writes PyMC code and checks it before you ever see it.

✅ No shape errors
✅ No hallucinated functions
✅ Just clean, working Bayesian models

Can Synthetic Consumers Answer Open-Ended Questions? - PyMC Labs

Can LLMs answer open-ended survey questions like real people? 🧠

@allendowney.bsky.social tested GPT-4, Claude & others on 2020 ANES data. Models matched the order of top concerns—but often cited issues (like inflation) that weren’t big then. Useful, but not time-aware.

Forecasting isn’t just about prediction — it’s about decision-making under uncertainty.

@juanitorduz.bsky.social shows how Bayesian models help:
🔹 Sparse data? Use hierarchies
🔹 Stockouts? Use censored likelihoods
🔹 Messy demand? Use priors + state spaces
