Weights and Biases (W&B) 💫

Weights and Biases is a ML Ops platform built to facilitate collaboration and reproducibility across the machine learning development lifecycle. Machine learning projects can quickly become a mess without some best practices in place to aid developers and scientists as they iterate on models and move them to production.
W&B is lightweight enough to work with whatever framework or platform teams are currently using, but enables teams to quickly start logging their important results to a central system of record. On top of this system of record, W&B has built visualization, automation, and documentation capabilities for better debugging, model tuning, and project management.

YouTube overview

Here's an Youtube video with an overview of Weights & Biases and a further one with more of a focus on LLM fine tuning with Registry.
