Releasesby GlyphGet hands-on with your generative apps
✏️ Edit generative app code in Hex Sometimes you don't need the agent, you just need to change one line. Previously, you had to prompt the agent every time you wanted to make a simple fix. Now, generative apps can open in a real code editor right inside Hex, so when you want to change a label, adjust some styling, or fix a bit of logic, you can just do it.

Tag-based data protection policies (Public Preview)
Tag-based policy support is now available in public preview for aggregation policies, row access policies, projection policies, and join policies. This feature allows you to assign data protection policies to tags, automatically protecting any objects that have the tag assigned to them.
Warehouse-level statement timeouts (Beta)
You can now set a statement timeout on a single SQL warehouse so that different warehouses can apply different timeouts to their queries. Set the timeout with the statement_timeout field in the Create or Update warehouse APIs. This feature is in Beta and is API-only. See Warehouse-level timeout .

More control over credits, thread metadata, and role requests
⤴️ Spend limits for auto top-ups Forecasting credit usage is notoriously difficult, but staying in budget should be a breeze. Hex supports workspace credit pool auto top-ups with an optional monthly spend limit. This means you only pay for what you need, and you never go over budget.
Command (line) and conquer
🤖 Hex Agent via CLI and API You can now have conversations with the Hex Agent via CLI and API, so you can set it to work from the tools and scripts you already use, not just the browser.
Two new models and more controls over generative apps
🧠 Kimi K2.7 and Fable 5 Two new models are now available from the model picker: Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic's most capable model to date) and Kimi K2.7 (an open-source model, best known for its lower token costs).
🧪 Introducing Evals
🧪 Introducing Evals Measure Hex Agent performance and test context changes safely before they ship, all from the CLI. If you've added a guide or tweaked a semantic model, Evals helps you measure whether it actually helped , before you publish. To do that, define a suite of test questions with expected outcomes and run them against the Hex Agent.
Tune how the agent runs
⚡ Fast mode Need an answer now ? Flip on fast mode in the model picker to push Opus models to 2.5x faster token output, at increased usage. The boost is most dramatic on long blocks of pure token output: big explanations, large blocks of code, or heavy reasoning.
Start building an app right from your conversation
🤖 Quickly toggle from chat to notebook Previously, you needed to wait a minute for Hex to convert your Thread to a notebook, now it happens automatically. After starting a conversation with the Hex Agent, you can easily switch views and build in the underlying notebook.
Hex in Figma, IAM role support for AWS, and schema refresh history!
🧑🎨 Hex Connector for Figma There’s a new connector that allows you to use the Figma agent to pull data from Hex right into your Figma files. This is great if you want to incorporate facts from your data into things like feature mockups or web page designs.
Semantic projects via CLI
⌨️ Semantic projects via CLI Pull your semantic spec out of Hex and into your repo, for local development and source control. This makes it easier to audit context or track what's changed.
