Release Notes 3.6 (May 2025)
Hugging Face Integration
Code Ocean now offers Hugging Face integration. Users can seamlessly import models directly from Hugging Face, a leading platform for machine learning and data science. This integration enables users to access a vast library of pre-trained models for various AL/ML applications in Code Ocean.
Pipeline Monitoring: Real-time Logs, Resource Summary, & More
We've added new enhancements to our Pipeline Monitoring giving deeper insights into Nextflow pipelines with real-time logs and resource usage summaries. These updates provide users with greater visibility and control over their pipeline performance.
Real-time Logs: Monitor pipeline execution with live log streaming, enabling faster debugging and troubleshooting.
Resource Summary: Get a comprehensive live view of the resources requested and used in a pipeline run, including CPU time and memory time, and the estimated run cost. Run cost is calculated using actual cost of resources for spot instances and AWS list price for on-demand.
GPU Request Visibility: The number of GPUs requested is now displayed in the resource summary at the run, process, and task levels (when applicable), providing a clearer view of resource allocation during Pipeline runs.
Download Button for Task Files: Users can now download task files directly from the Task Details panel, improving accessibility and simplifying data review.
With these improvements, we're making pipeline management and execution more transparent, efficient, and cost-effective.
Pipelines - DSL2 Migration
Code Ocean Pipelines now fully support Nextflow DSL2. All newly created Pipelines will use DSL2 by default, and existing Pipelines can be optionally migrated to DSL2 with a single click in the Pipeline Settings UI.
This update aligns with Nextflow's deprecation of DSL1, while allowing users to migrate existing Pipelines at their own pace.
Pipelines - Nextflow Profile Support for Custom Pipelines
We've introduced a new field in Pipeline Settings where users can specify Nextflow config profiles for custom Pipelines with the editor unlocked.
Profiles allow users to easily select predefined configurations for different use cases. Any profiles used during a run will be recorded in the Timeline and Result Provenance, for traceability and reproducibility.
Pipelines - Download Nextflow Artifacts
Users can now download all Nextflow Artifact files with a single click using the new button in the Pipeline run menu. This improvement makes it easier to collect files for troubleshooting and debugging, enhancing the Pipeline user workflow.
Pipelines - Additional Enhancements
Key improvements to Pipelines ensure better compatibility and resource management:
Nextflow 24.10.4 Support: Pipelines now support Nextflow 24.10.4, ensuring access to recent features and improvements.
Shared Memory Allocation: Shared memory for pipeline processes is now the same as in Capsules (4GB).
Autogenerated App Panel: Pipelines will automatically generate an App Panel when a
nextflow_schema.jsonfile is detected, streamlining setup for users who already define parameters using this schema format.
These updates enhance performance, compatibility, and resource efficiency in Pipelines.
Cost Monitoring - Computation Cost for Capsules
The run actions menu has been updated with a more intuitive layout and Estimated Cost has been added for Capsule runs. This makes it easier for users to access key information and actions, and stay informed about resource usage.
Combined Data in Capsules
We're expanding the power of Combined Data by making it available not just for Pipelines, but also for Capsules. With this update, users can leverage the flexibility of Combined Data across their entire workflow, ensuring a more cohesive and efficient data experience.
Cloud Workstation Enhancements
New Cloud Workstation features improve usability and flexibility:
Access and Manage Data in No-Code Apps: Users can now attach and detach Data Assets while running a Release CW No-Code App, allowing for greater flexibility in how they interact with their data in their Apps.
Quick Access to Source Repository: A shortcut button has been added to the CW bar, making it easier to open the source repository directly from the CW.
These enhancements improve workflow efficiency, allowing users to maximize productivity in the Cloud Workstation.
Admin - Improved License Management
A table has been added to display the latest uploaded license, providing clear confirmation that a license has been successfully added to the deployment. This update improves clarity and streamlines license management.
Admin - Block Data Downloads
For organizations that require tighter data control, we are introducing a new Download Settings page in the Admin Panel. This feature allows admins to block downloads of Data Assets and run output files via both the Code Ocean UI and public APIs–supporting stricter compliance and security requirements.
