+## [0.14.23](https://github.com/scaleapi/nucleus-python-client/releases/tag/v0.14.23) - 2022-10-17
+
+### Added
+- Support for building slices via Nucleus' Smart Sample
+
+
 ## [0.14.22](https://github.com/scaleapi/nucleus-python-client/releases/tag/v0.14.22) - 2022-10-14
 
 ### Added
 - Trigger for calculating Validate metrics for a model. This allows underperforming slice discovery and more model analysis
 
+
 ## [0.14.21](https://github.com/scaleapi/nucleus-python-client/releases/tag/v0.14.21) - 2022-09-28
 
 ### Added
 - Support for `context_attachment` metadata values. See [upload metadata](https://nucleus.scale.com/docs/upload-metadata) for more information.
