What is Grafana Mimir?

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months

The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.

What is mlr3cmprsk?

Competing risks arrive in mlr3, going from a non-parametric baseline to Fine-Gray regression in seven weeks.

mlr3cmprsk extends mlr3 to competing-risks analysis: learners predicting cumulative incidence functions, plus measures to score them. It appeared in February 2026 and reached 0.0.5 by April, adding a Fine-Gray learner and a Brier score along the way. The version numbers say pre-release; the cadence says active build-out.

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months

◆ Current state

The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.

◆ Where it's heading

Packaging and the engine move on separate clocks: the chart ships weekly regardless of whether anything changed underneath, while Mimir itself cuts a minor roughly monthly. The weekly stream tells you nothing about direction and will keep dominating the feed by volume.

◆ Prediction

The chart line moving from 6.2.0-weekly to 6.3.0-weekly points at a 6.3.0 chart release carrying Mimir 3.2 once the candidate goes final.

Competing risks arrive in mlr3, going from a non-parametric baseline to Fine-Gray regression in seven weeks.

◆ Current state

mlr3cmprsk extends mlr3 to competing-risks analysis: learners predicting cumulative incidence functions, plus measures to score them. It appeared in February 2026 and reached 0.0.5 by April, adding a Fine-Gray learner and a Brier score along the way. The version numbers say pre-release; the cadence says active build-out.

◆ Where it's heading

The package assembled a working evaluation stack fast. It started with the Aalen-Johansen estimator as a non-parametric baseline, added Fine-Gray as a regression alternative, then filled in the scoring side with an AUC refactor and a fixed-time Brier score. Development has run in lockstep with survdistr and mlr3extralearners, which picked up the dependency at 1.5.2.

◆ Prediction

The visible gaps are more learners — cause-specific Cox and boosting variants — and the tuning and pipeline integration the rest of mlr3 expects; the measure side currently looks further along than the model side.
