THE CHALLENGE
Test your best model against an AI agent in a data science showdown
The FeatureByte Data Science Challenge invites data science teams to test their best production models against the FeatureByte platform—on real data, in real conditions. It’s not another pre-engineered dataset competition. In FeatureByte’s customer tests, our models improved real-world performance by 4–15% in 92% of cases. This is a rare chance to go up against FeatureByte and benchmark how strong your models really are.
Through this challenge, your data science team will:
- Benchmark your production models against FeatureByte’s platform under controlled, real-world conditions
- Discover unused potential in your data, features, and pipelines—often hidden beneath daily workflows
- Get the model artifacts from the FeatureByte-built model if it performs better than your model.
Put your production models to the test—and uncover insights that could redefine how your organization measures machine learning success.
