Function calling lets AI models invoke external tools - from SQL queries to API calls. For data analysis, this means the model can directly query your database, fetch live datasets, and execute multi-step data pipelines without manual intervention.
JSON mode ensures the model returns well-formed structured data instead of free-text prose. This is critical for data analysis workflows where outputs need to be parsed, piped into dashboards, or fed into downstream processing systems.
Advanced reasoning capabilities let models handle multi-step statistical analysis, identify trends across large datasets, spot anomalies, and draw nuanced conclusions. Models with reasoning excel at tasks like cohort analysis, regression interpretation, and causal inference.
Vision-capable models can interpret charts, graphs, screenshots of dashboards, and spreadsheet images. Upload a chart and ask for analysis - or have the model extract data from visual reports that are not available in structured form.
Data analysis often requires processing large amounts of information at once - full CSVs, lengthy reports, or thousands of rows. Models with 128K+ token context windows can ingest entire datasets in a single prompt, enabling holistic analysis without chunking or summarization losses.
