  • Faster experiment startup: repositories now upload in parallel with initialization, so experiments get going sooner.
  • Evolve any file type: experiments can now evolve files with any extension, not just a fixed set.
  • More resilient experiments.

​
24th June 2026

  • Redesigned dashboard with an improved experiment results page, plus better search and filtering.
  • Stop, cancel, and delete experiments directly from the dashboard.
  • Chat with your results — a new assistant to explore experiment outcomes.
  • Download code versions as a zip.
  • “Better than seed” filter to show only improved results, and a comparison mode for contrasting runs.
  • Upload and patch experiments using local source files (via the CLI).
  • Improved log viewer interface.

​
16th June 2026

  • New hive logs command to stream coordinator and sandbox logs, with --source, --worker, and --no-follow options.

  • hive create exp now uses -c/--config to point at the config file (-f is deprecated but still works).
  • Experiment source can now be a remote git URL (https://, ssh://, git@) or a local directory, and the new repo.files field controls which files are uploaded. Source can also be omitted entirely when the base image already contains the code.
  • Updated the evaluator output format: print {"status": "success", "result": {"fitness": ...}} on success or {"status": "failed", "error": ...} on failure to the final line of stdout.
