In the realm of cloud-based Python execution environments, Google Colab has been a frontrunner, offering free GPU access for machine learning. However, ChatGPT Advanced Data Analysis is the only one to my knowledge where a generative AI will help you write and execute the code. This creates a symbiotic relationship between the user and the AI, paving the way for a more interactive and enriched coding experience.

Let’s explore some of the edges of the sandbox.
