Announcing KNIME Analytics Platform 5.1

Dear all,

We are excited to announce that KNIME Analytics Platform 5.1 is now available and ready for download. The new version not only features a modern interface, improved product onboarding, and a more intuitive way to build analytical workflows, but also unveils KNIME’s first generative AI capabilities.

The release’s biggest highlights include:

  • Sleeker UI with improved navigation, search, and workflow annotations to build workflows faster

  • A Starter Perspective with popular data manipulation nodes to prepare data quickly

  • New nodes for spreadsheet users such as Value Lookup to easily automate repetitive work and combine it with workflows

  • Our first KNIME AI assistant, a prototype, that answers questions and builds workflows and an early release of AI extension that lets you build your own AI assistant

  • Additional connectivity to 3rd party services, performance improvements, and Python extension enhancements

  • KNIME Reporting (Labs), users can now test out new static reporting capabilities available in Labs.

We appreciate all the feedback we have received. We tried to address as much as possible, but could not integrate each and every feature request. This doesn’t mean we are done and we will consider the feedback in subsequent releases. Please keep it coming.

You can find all information and download links to this release here, access the changelogs for KNIME Analytics Platform 5.1.0 and Server 4.16.5 for details.
