This release gives users additional flexibility when creating auto-configured AI models and where files can be retrieved from using Citrine Python. We also are continually improving our documentation, tests, and contribution processes while fixing bugs to keep the API experience as smooth as possible.
What's New
* One may now override the `auto_config` Predictor behavior to produce a maximum-complexity predictor from a training data source (i.e., the "old" behavior) with the `prefer_valid=False` argument. Perfect for those times where you'd like to start from many nodes and pare down, or are just old fashioned and like big graphs. https://github.com/CitrineInformatics/citrine-python/pull/734
* Files can now be retrieved from off-platform sources! The workbooks, images and other files that support data might be located in a variety of locations around your organization, and this makes it simpler to pull them into your working environment. Just use `files.download`. https://github.com/CitrineInformatics/citrine-python/pull/741
