What problem does it solve?
Weights & Biases (W&B) helps you stop losing context between training runs by centralizing metrics, configurations, artifacts, sweeps, and model registry entries in one workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Experiment Tracking: Log scalar metrics (loss/accuracy), training/validation curves, and metadata per run.
- Hyperparameter Sweeps: Run systematic searches (random/grid/bayesian) against a chosen metric to find better settings.
- Artifacts & Model Registry: Version datasets/models/checkpoints with lineage, promote models via aliases (e.g., best/production), and collaborate.
- Framework Integrations: Use W&B directly or via common training frameworks such as Transformers, PyTorch Lightning, and Keras/TensorFlow.
Quick Start
Use the weights-and-biases skill to log a single training run’s metrics and configuration for later comparison by telling your agent: set up a W&B run for project "my-project", track my learning rate/epochs/batch size, log train/val loss and accuracy each epoch, and upload my final model checkpoint as a W&B artifact.
