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.
What is Usermaven?
Usermaven closed the loop: data comes in from anywhere, and now it goes back out.
Three consecutive releases have each opened a different edge of the product. Event Sources brought conversion events in from payments, CRMs and spreadsheets without code; the MCP server let any AI client query the workspace; the newest adds a read-only Salesforce connection, Reverse ETL pushing Usermaven audiences into operational tools, external MCP connectors feeding Maven AI outside context, and configurable engagement scoring. Underneath, the analysis surfaces were consolidated earlier in the summer into Analytics Hub and a command bar.

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.
Usermaven
8.8ANALYTICS
Usermaven closed the loop: data comes in from anywhere, and now it goes back out.
◆ Current state
Three consecutive releases have each opened a different edge of the product. Event Sources brought conversion events in from payments, CRMs and spreadsheets without code; the MCP server let any AI client query the workspace; the newest adds a read-only Salesforce connection, Reverse ETL pushing Usermaven audiences into operational tools, external MCP connectors feeding Maven AI outside context, and configurable engagement scoring. Underneath, the analysis surfaces were consolidated earlier in the summer into Analytics Hub and a command bar.
◆ Where it's heading
The shape is a product deliberately becoming a hub rather than a destination. Ingest, query and activation have each been generalized in turn, and the common design choice is to hand the boundary to a standard or a connector rather than build integrations one at a time. What is left proprietary is the middle — identity resolution, attribution, engagement scoring — which is where the release notes keep adding configurability. The Salesforce connection being read-only in its first cut fits the pattern: land the schema mapping, then open the write path.
◆ Prediction
Salesforce write-back is the obvious next step, since Reverse ETL already exists as the mechanism and the entry marks read-only as a first release. Expect more CRM connectors on the same template — read-only, per-org field mapping, sandbox first.
