Abstract: We review progress and plans towards a new global PDF analysis from the NNPDF Collaboration. This new release will be based on state-of-the-art theory calculations, and in particular will be based on exact NNLO interpolation grids, (approximate) N3LO QCD corrections to DGLAP evolution and DIS structure functions, and QED effects to DGLAP evolution. All relevant sources of experimental and theoretical uncertainties, the latter including missing higher orders and higher twists, are taken into account. As compared to NNPDF4.0, this new release includes more than 25 new datasets from HERA jets to Drell-Yan (inclusive and with extra jets), top quark, and jet production at the LHC among others. Our machine learning methodology is statistically validated by extensive closure and future tests and benefits from an improved hyperoptimization algorithm.
