What is Weights & Biases?

Weights & Biases (W&B) is the leading MLOps platform covering experiment tracking, dataset versioning, model registry, and LLM evaluation (Weave). It's used by 1M+ ML practitioners and supports the full ML development lifecycle.

Our Review

W&B is the undisputed leader for ML experiment tracking. Its LLM-specific tooling (Weave) has matured significantly and now rivals LangSmith for tracing and evaluation. If your team already uses W&B for model training, extending to LLM observability with Weave is the path of least resistance.
