Beyond excited to share that catboost now has full native support in tidymodels!!
This support should extend to all applicable areas of tidymodels, which means that orbital works as well 🚀

CatBoost support in tidymodels
CatBoost is now available as a supported engine in tidymodels. This post shows how to train, tune, and use CatBoost models through the familiar parsnip interface.

XGBoost? Dinosaur tech. Struggles with categorical data like it's 2015. Still living off its early hype.
🚀 CatBoost dominates — fast, smart, and built to handle cats like a boss.
⚡ WarpGBM just dropped — think CatBoost, but turbocharged.

✅ CatBoost dominates single-model comparisons both out of the box and under tuning, beating XGBoost, LightGBM, deep nets, and hybrids.
🚨 What This Means for You
✔ Need reliable performance without extreme compute? CatBoost is your best bet—consistently outperforming XGBoost and LightGBM.

— CatBoost: log-loss worsened on 93% of folds. Platt added 5.3%.
— TabICL: worse on 91% of folds. 6.0% penalty.
— EBM: worse on 90%. 4.4% penalty.
— TabPFN: worse on 87%. 5.0% penalty.

So today I learned about XGBoost and Catboost and I'm both frightened and intrigued! I am definitely on team "don't use ML when a linear model with seasonality will do" but these seem super interesting.

The lab has started using CatBoost to predict selective constraint in mammalian coding sequences, and it is shocking how good it is. It could make it possible to test adaptation accounting for constraint as McDonald-Kreitman does, but without having to do a lot of resequencing to get PN/PS.

My recipe for time series forecasting with XGBoost, CatBoost or LightGBM (based on my recent experiments):
1. Pick between MLForecast or AutoGluonTS
2. Ask Sonnet 3.5 to convert one of the example notebooks to your dataset
3. Iterate on feature engineering/hyperparameters
