New Release: Cobalt Version 0.3.9

Cobalt 0.3.9 is available now. Update via: pip install --upgrade cobalt-ai

Key Features

The release introduces statistical flexibility in group comparisons. Beyond the standard t-test, users now have access to "the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test" plus permutation-based p-value approximations.

A new Workspace.get_group_neighbors() method enables discovery of neighboring data subsets, which can serve as comparison groups in the UI.

Graph Improvements

The layout algorithm received substantial enhancements:

  • Node overlap prevention for clearer relationship visualization
  • Components organized by size from left to right
  • Automatic rotation for optimal space utilization
  • Threaded animation preventing UI interference

Examples visualizing before and after v0.3.9:

Quality Updates

Embeddings for text data can now be created directly by calling CobaltDataset.add_text_column_embedding(). The licensing prompt was clarified, and GroupResultsCollection now inherits from GroupCollection, streamlining failure group analysis.

Bug Fixes

A timestamp display issue affecting graph coloring was resolved.
