Weights & Biases is an AI development platform founded in 2017. It provides W&B Models for tracking machine-learning experiments and assets, and W&B Weave for tracing, evaluating, and monitoring AI applications.
CoreWeave acquired the company on May 5, 2025. The product supports cloud-hosted use and privately hosted deployment options, with plan boundaries that matter for commercial use and high-volume logging.
A quick way to understand who this product may suit, where its limits matter, and which facts are most relevant before you compare alternatives.
AI and machine-learning teams that want experiment records, model and dataset lineage, and evaluation or observability for AI applications in one platform.
Individuals seeking only a simple local tracker may not need the hosted collaboration features; corporate users also cannot use the Personal plan, and larger organizations may need Enterprise, and should evaluate alternatives such as ClearML or MLflow instead.
