From local PyData meetups to international conferences, we supported the community throughout 2025.
20+ events. 5 continents. Countless connections.
Our Annual Report maps where we've been and where open source is going 🌍
Coming soon.
Open source thrives when we bridge the gap between an advanced research tool and the high school classroom.
Jupyter Everywhere is the result of a massive community relay. Agriya Khetarpal details how Quansight collaborated with Skew The Script and CourseKata.

From astrophysics simulations to a commit bit on NumPy and PyO3.
Nathan Goldbaum's career is proof that unusual paths lead to outsized impact. He just sat down with Lobsters to talk free-threading, burnout, Rust, and what's next for Python.

Half the ecosystem. Done.
180 of the top 360 PyPI packages now ship free-threaded wheels, a milestone the whole Python community helped reach.
The next 50% needs you. 🙌

What keeps developers company while they code? For some of us at Quansight: coffee and cats. Lots of cats. 😺☕ What's your coding companion? Let us know in the comments!👇️
The best open source projects happen when industry needs meet community vision.
As Ralf Gommers shares, we help connect the two, funding flows to what communities want to build anyway.
Everyone wins. That's sustainable open source.🌱

Marco Gorelli shares a practical guide for data engineers: when translating Polars to SQL, try Narwhals first to avoid LLM hallucinations. Only reach for LLMs when you need features beyond the API, and be specific in your prompts!

🏆 Marco Gorelli's article on Narwhals ranked among the top five most-clicked stories on pycoder's weekly.
Write your DataFrame logic once, run it anywhere! That's the kind of practical wisdom the community needs. 💡
Great collab between CodeCut and Marco!

Supporting open source means more than using it.
It means investing in maintainers, infrastructure, and sustainability.
The Quansight Quarterly documents how we're doing that work alongside communities.
