Weights and Biases

Use W&B to build better models faster. Track and visualize all the pieces of your machine learning pipeline, from datasets to production machine learning models. Get started with W&B today, sign up for an account!

See the W&B Developer Guide and API Reference Guide for a full technical description of the W&B platform.

 

Quickstart

Get started with W&B in four steps:

• First, sign up for a W&B account.

• Second, install the W&B SDK with pip. Navigate to your terminal and type the following command:

pip install wandb

• Third, log into W&B:

wandb.login()

• Use the example code snippet below as a template to integrate W&B to your Python script:

import wandb

# Start a W&B Run with wandb.init
run = wandb.init(project="my_first_project")

# Save model inputs and hyperparameters in a wandb.config object
config = run.config
config.learning_rate = 0.01

# Model training code here ...

# Log metrics over time to visualize performance with wandb.log
for i in range(10):
    run.log({"loss": ...})

# Mark the run as finished, and finish uploading all data
run.finish()

For example, if the preceding code was stored in a script called train.py:

python train.py

You will see a URL in your terminal logs when your script starts and finishes. Data is staged locally in a directory named wandb relative to your script. Navigate to the W&B App to view a dashboard of your first W&B Experiment. Use the W&B App to compare multiple experiments in a unified place, dive into the results of a single run, and much more!

 

Integrations

Use your favorite framework with W&B. W&B integrations make it fast and easy to set up experiment tracking and data versioning inside existing projects. For more information on how to integrate W&B with the framework of your choice, see W&B Integrations in the W&B Developer Guide.

 

Python Version Support

We are committed to supporting our minimum required Python version for at least six months after its official end-of-life (EOL) date, as defined by the Python Software Foundation. You can find a list of Python EOL dates here.

When we discontinue support for a Python version, we will increment the library’s minor version number to reflect this change.

 

Contribution guidelines
