While I was at @pydataparis.bsky.social , I did not spend much time on @conda-forge.org, but in that week, at least some important milestones happened for the Python 3.14 migration, e.g. unblocking everything that depends on pandas.

Python 3.14 has been released two days ago. At the same time, we also uploaded a build of it to @conda-forge.org and about 40% of Python version dependent (mostly those with compiled code) were immediately available. See conda-forge.org/blog/2025/10...

In our little deep dive series we're now exploring how cross-compilation in the Conda ecosystem works: prefix.dev/blog/cross-c.... Back in the days, @conda-forge.org rolled this out widely to support osx-arm64 early on, and now for linux-aarch64/ppc64le.
Cross compiling in the Conda ecosystem
Cross compiling is a fundamental capability in modern software development, allowing developers to build packages for different architectures without needing access to the target hardware.

Our server has recently delivered more than 1.000.000 packages for the first time. We've hit that mark a few more times since. Seeing this constant growth is fascinating and we are confident that our infrastructure will scale well beyond this number!

I'm really looking forward to getting to teach this tutorial with @ruben-arts.bsky.social and John next week at #SciPy2025! This has been fun to collaborate with them on to create. I hope tutorial participants enjoy it and come away feeling they have a whole new toolkit to empower themselves with!
🙌 We’re excited to have @matthewfeickert.com, John Kirkham, and Ruben Arts teaching us "Reproducible Machine Learning Workflows for Scientists with pixi" at #SciPy2025!

🔥 Learn how to create fast and reproducible ML environments using pixi, the next-gen package manager for scientific workflows.

Ever wondered how Conda and Pixi "know" to install CUDA packages only on GPU machines? 🤔

Virtual Packages in the Conda ecosystem
Virtual packages are a neat trick to inject system requirements into the SAT solver and resolve for compatible packages automatically. In this blog post we talk about how they are used in the Conda ecosystem to support complex cross-platform package distributions.

Demystifying conda packages!
How do you make compiled software with hardcoded paths work anywhere?

255-character placeholders, $ORIGIN rpaths, and platform-specific binary patching.

What is a Conda package, actually?
At its core, a conda package really is just a "glorified" tarball—a compressed archive of files with some metadata attached.

These days you can easily use S3 buckets to host your Conda packages. @quantcotech folks have implemented support across pixi, rattler and rattler-build.

We're excited because we want Conda packages to be used everywhere without vendor lock-in!

S3 support in Pixi and rattler-build
We're excited to announce S3 support across our entire toolchain – rattler, pixi, and rattler-build now support the most common cloud storage standard, thanks to contributions from our friends at QuantCo. This vendor-agnostic approach to distributing Conda packages represents a major step forward for the ecosystem, offering teams the flexibility to host packages on any S3-compatible provider (AWS, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Hetzner, and more) with built-in authentication and minimal vendor lock-in.

New release on @npmjs - the rattler WASM/JS bindings are now published under "@conda-org/rattler". Why would you want Conda packages in the browser? – to install WASM modules for Python, R, Lua, C/C++ and more, or build your own WASM powered applications.

npm: @conda-org/rattler
Javascript bindings to the rattler library. Latest version: 0.3.0, last published: 10 minutes ago. Start using @conda-org/rattler in your project by running `npm i @conda-org/rattler`. There are no other projects in the npm registry using @conda-org/rattler.

One of the fastest JIT in the world is now easy to install with `pixi` on Windows.

If you always wanted to try LuaJIT then you can just `pixi add luajit` – on Windows, macOS and Linux.
