Data-analytic agents must iteratively generate and execute code while interpreting real-time feedback to refine their analytical strategies. Existing training paradigms decouple the agent’s policy from the underlying environment dynamics, producing agents that learn to recover from errors rather than to avoid them: failure rates rise alongside recovery rates, and interaction turns inflate as agents resort to trial-and-error exploration. We introduce DataSight, a framework that internalizes environment dynamics by making the model’s anticipation of execution outcomes an explicit, structured output accompanying every generated action. DataSight first enriches expert trajectories with foresight prediction fields grounded in real execution feedback, then applies a dual-stage RL curriculum that calibrates prediction fidelity before optimizing long-horizon task performance, and at inference time intercepts anticipated failures before physical execution. Trained on only 7,273 trajectories, DataSight-4B surpasses both DataMind-7B and DeepAnalyse-8B in average accuracy, while DataSight-8B achieves 64.13% Avg@3 across four benchmarks with Pass@3 of 74.81%, approaching DeepSeek-V3.2 at 75.56%. Analysis confirms that foresight training generalizes across non-reasoning backbones and SQL-based tasks, improving both single-step code quality and multi-turn interaction efficiency.

We introduce DA-Code, a code generation benchmark specifically designed to assess LLMs on agent-based data science tasks. This benchmark features three core elements: First, the tasks within DA-Code are inherently challenging, setting them apart from traditional code generation tasks and demanding advanced coding skills in grounding and planning. Second, examples in DA-Code are all based on real and diverse data, covering a wide range of complex data wrangling and analytics tasks. Third, to solve the tasks, the models must utilize complex data science programming languages, including Python and SQL, to perform intricate data processing and derive the answers. We set up the benchmark in a controllable and executable environment that aligns with real-world data analysis scenarios and is scalable. The annotators meticulously designed the evaluation suite to ensure the accuracy and robustness of the evaluation. We developed the DA-Agent baseline. Experiments show that although the baseline performs better than other existing frameworks, using the current best LLMs achieves only 30.5% accuracy, leaving ample room for improvement.
