Just keep in mind that the current version of Prodigy isn't compatible with spaCy v2.1 yet – we want to make sure the new version is 100% stable and tested by everyone before we ask Prodigy users to retrain their models. See here for details:

Probably early next week. We’ve updated the code for it, and are doing some manual testing to make sure we don’t need to tweak any of the active learning heuristics for the new models, in case things changed.

We also wanted to make sure things were fully stable. With Prodigy it’s less convenient for users to install updates than it is for spaCy and other open-source libraries, so we’re a bit more cautious. v2.1 has been pretty well tested because it was on nightly for so long, but we still want to make sure any problems surface before we ask everyone to download a new Prodigy update and retrain all their models.
