Here is the release note of v4.0.0. Please also check out the release blog post.

If you want to update the Optuna version of your existing projects to v4.0, please see the migration guide.

We have also published blog posts about the development items. Please check them out!

• OptunaHub, a Feature-Sharing Platform for Optuna, Now Available in Official Release!
• File Management during LLM (Large Language Model) Trainings by Optuna v4.0.0 Artifact Store
• Significant Speed Up of Multi-Objective TPESampler in Optuna v4.0.0

Highlights

Official Release of Feature-Sharing Platform OptunaHub

We officially released OptunaHub, a feature-sharing platform for Optuna. A large number of optimization and visualization algorithms are available in OptunaHub. Contributors can easily register their methods and deliver them to Optuna users around the world.

Please also read the OptunaHub release blog post.

Enhanced Experiment Management Feature: Official Support of Artifact Store

Artifact Store is a file management feature for files generated during optimization, dubbed artifacts. In Optuna v4.0, we stabilized the existing file upload API and further enhanced the usability of Artifact Store by adding some APIs such as the artifact download API. We also added features to show JSONL and CSV files on Optuna Dashboard in addition to the existing support for images, audio, and video. With this official support, the API backward compatibility will be guaranteed.

For more details, please check the blog post.

JournalStorage: Official Support of Distributed Optimization via Network File System

JournalStorage is a new Optuna storage experimentally introduced in Optuna v3.1 (see the blog post for details). Optuna has JournalFileBackend, a storage backend for various file systems. It can be used on NFS, allowing Optuna to scale to multiple nodes.

In Optuna v4.0, the API for JournalStorage has been reorganized, and JournalStorage is officially supported. This official support guarantees its backward compatibility from v4.0. For details on the API changes, please refer to the Optuna v4.0 Migration Guide.

import optuna
from optuna.storages import JournalStorage
from optuna.storages.journal import JournalFileBackend
def objective(trial: optuna.Trial) -> float:

...
storage = JournalStorage(JournalFileBackend("./optuna_journal_storage.log"))

study = optuna.create_study(storage=storage)

study.optimize(objective)
