Multi-measurement comparison, cycle aging simulations, and improved optimizer convergence
Multi-measurement comparison view
Select multiple measurements in the Cell Data table and click “Compare” to open a dedicated comparison page. The Time Series tab plots measurements on the same chart with configurable axes and a stack-cycles mode, while the Cycles tab shows cycle metrics like discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency across all selected measurements with optional retention mode. Filters can be applied globally or per-measurement.Find out more →Cycle aging simulation template
A new cycle aging template is available for simulations, allowing you to define cycling protocols and visualize cycle-level metrics such as capacity fade and efficiency over hundreds of cycles.Find out more →Improved optimizer convergence
The Differential Evolution optimizer now uses Latin Hypercube Sampling for better initial coverage of the parameter space, along with canonical mutation factor clamping and seed-based reproducibility. These changes improve convergence reliability across a wide range of fitting problems.Studio

Improvements
- Simulations can now be force-rerun while preserving the same simulation ID and study mappings.
- The data list table now shows expanded specification columns (anode, cathode, electrolyte, case sub-fields), copy-on-click IDs, and a search-on-this-page feature.
- EIS and dV/dQ data can now be viewed in dedicated tabs on measurement detail pages.
- Cycler simulator jobs now provide live partial-result updates during execution.
- Parameter sets are now dynamically discovered rather than hardcoded, so newly installed parameter sets appear automatically.
- The API now includes a
/discoveryendpoint to help programmatic clients understand available capabilities and schemas. - Cell creation no longer requires anode and cathode to be defined upfront, simplifying the model creation workflow.
- Fixed stale data appearing after switching organizations.
- Fixed a deserialization bug where model options were missing from design optimization jobs.
- Fixed PyBaMM expression parameters (symbol tree dicts) not being deserialized correctly during parameterized model creation.
Pipeline
Pipeline
Improvements
- Composite models now support nested list/tuple options (e.g. open-circuit potential configurations).
- Capacity calculations now correctly account for the number of electrodes in parallel (
n_elec). - Validation runs now surface simulation errors immediately instead of silently filling results with sentinel values.
- Custom initial state support added for lumped SPMr and ECM models, accepting either a voltage string or SOC float directly.
- Fixed drive cycle step serialization losing interpolant data during roundtrip.
- Fixed EIS simulation including unnecessary output variables in kwargs.
- Fixed NaN values in simulation results causing constraint actions (GreaterThan/LessThan) to crash instead of returning penalty values.

Python API
Improvements
- Added an API discovery skill to help agents explore available endpoints and schemas.
Data Processing
Data Processing
Improvements
- DataLoader now accepts environment configuration for database connections.
- Step detection now checks the last step after the first for more reliable step boundary identification.
- Fixed
DataLoader.copy()failing on lazy-loadedfrom_dbinstances by ensuring time series data is loaded before cloning.

Fixes
- Fixed a drive cycle temperature handling bug.
- Added validation that safety limit minimums must be less than maximums, preventing misconfigured protocols.
- Fixed a delayed processing bug where initial SOC parameter values were not saved for later variable evaluation.
- Fixed Maccor parser not recognizing constant-power/constant-voltage (CPCV) protocol steps.
