Introducing ADE-bench, the world’s first comprehensive benchmark for AI driven analytics and data engineering

So … you’ve probably heard a lot about AI over the last few years. What can it do? What can’t it do?

To answer this question - you need to actually put it to the test. That’s why Benn Stancil created the world’s first comprehensive, open source benchmark for analytics and data engineering work (ADE-bench).

Discover how ADE-bench measures real-world analytics engineering tasks for AI-assisted workflows, why it matters for teams building with dbt, and how to run it yourself.

Featuring benchmark creator Benn Stancil, this session will unpack the design, demo the workflow, and share early takeaways to help you adopt the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with confidence.
