What's Changed

Notable Changes

  • wandb.InternalApi, the wandb.PublicApi and wandb.apis.PublicApi aliases, and the wandb.apis.internal and wandb.sdk.internal.internal_api modules have been removed. Use wandb.Api() instead.
  • wandb.api and wandb.ensure_configured() are deprecated. Use wandb.login(prompt=False) to check whether the user is logged in, and wandb.Api() for everything else.
  • The legacy wandb sync options have been removed. Run wandb sync with no arguments instead of wandb sync --sync-all, and use --job-type instead of --job_type. See wandb sync --help.

Added

  • wandb.login(prompt=False) uses the configured credentials when there are any and returns False otherwise, without asking for an API key or switching to offline mode. Use it to check whether the user is logged in without blocking (@dmitryduev in #12741)
  • The automations API supports sending a prompt to ARIA as an automation action with SendPromptToAria (@gdecarvalhovaz-lgtm in #12594)
  • W&B LEET TUI:
    • Charts with custom x-axes set with run.define_metric(...), including glob definitions such as run.define_metric("train/*", step_metric="train/step"). The axis name is shown as [x: train/step] in the chart header. Applies to runs opened from local .wandb files (@dmitryduev in #12568, #12728)
    • Filter console logs: with the logs pane focused, press / and type a pattern (regex, or glob after Tab) to show only the matching lines. New matches are followed as they arrive, and ctrl+/ clears the filter (@dmitryduev in #12736)
    • The metrics, system metrics and runs filters are remembered for each wandb directory and applied again the next time you open it, in both the workspace and the single-run view. They are stored in .wandb-leet.json inside the directory. Clearing a filter forgets it (@dmitryduev in #12735)
    • The border or separator line you drag to resize a pane or sidebar is highlighted while you drag it (@dmitryduev in #12617)

Changed

  • wandb status --settings no longer prints the API key, and wandb projects no longer prints project descriptions (@dmitryduev in #12723)
  • System metrics on Apple Silicon Macs start about 1.5 seconds sooner after a run starts (@dmitryduev in #12679)
  • W&B LEET TUI is faster on long runs: a run with 100 metrics and 400k steps opens 10 times faster, frames render about 30 percent faster, and live chart updates no longer redraw every point (@dmitryduev in #12535, #12536, #12537, #12538, #12539, #12734)

Deprecated

  • wandb.api and wandb.ensure_configured() are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. wandb.api now only provides api_key, default_entity and viewer(). Use wandb.login(prompt=False) to check whether the user is logged in, and wandb.Api() for the rest (@dmitryduev in #12715)
  • wandb.sandbox and the wandb beta sandbox commands are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use the cwsandbox package directly (@nicholaspun-wandb in #12647, #12689)

Removed

  • Removed wandb.InternalApi, the wandb.PublicApi and wandb.apis.PublicApi aliases, and the wandb.apis.internal and wandb.sdk.internal.internal_api modules. Use wandb.Api() instead (@dmitryduev in #12715, #12716, #12724)
  • Removed the legacy wandb sync options. Run wandb sync with no arguments instead of wandb sync --sync-all, and use --job-type instead of --job_type (@timoffex in #12686)

Fixed

  • File uploads and downloads that take longer than 20 seconds no longer fail with CommError: Failed to execute API request: the service process is busy and did not respond in time. This was a regression in 0.29.0 (@dmitryduev in #12603)
  • wandb.init() and wandb.Api() no longer stall for up to 10 seconds when the W&B server is slow to respond. This was a regression in 0.29.0 (@mitja-kleider and @jacobromero in #12697)
  • Requests rejected with HTTP 402 Payment Required, such as plan and quota limits including artifact usage limits, are no longer retried. The error is reported right away (@Vedant527 in #12628)
  • Syncing a run whose artifacts were already uploaded no longer fails when the artifact files are no longer on disk. This was a regression in 0.29.0 (@dmitryduev in #12750)
  • A failed artifact upload no longer deletes the files it was uploading, so wandb sync can retry it. After a successful upload, only files in the artifact's staging directory are cleaned up (@dmitryduev in #12749)
  • wandb sync now explains when a .wandb file ends with an incomplete record, which happens while the run is still writing or after it was killed mid-write, and how to retry, instead of reporting an internal error (@dmitryduev in #12751)
  • Passing aliases or tags to Run.log_artifact() in the public API no longer fails with a server error (@dmitryduev in #12719)
  • wandb.Image masks given as float arrays with values outside 0-255 now raise TypeError, as integer arrays already did, instead of being saved with wrong class ids (@Kayvan-Zahiri in #12685)
  • System metrics are collected as soon as a run starts instead of one sampling interval (15 seconds by default) later, so short runs record system metrics and system charts no longer start with a gap (@dmitryduev in #12649)
  • wandb.init() no longer waits up to 5 seconds for the GPU and TPU metrics collector to start (@dmitryduev in #12651)
  • In Jupyter notebooks, system metrics are collected while a cell runs and paused between cells. Since 0.19.10 the two were swapped, so system metrics were only collected while the notebook was idle (@timoffex in #12646)
  • On machines with AMD GPUs, system metrics monitoring no longer runs rocm-smi up front, which took 1 to 3 seconds, and no longer crashes when rocm-smi reports no GPUs (@dmitryduev in #12652)
  • System metrics on Apple Silicon Macs:
    • CPU utilization, frequency and power now cover the whole sampling interval instead of a snapshot of about 10 milliseconds, which made utilization and frequency noisy and overstated power by about 25 percent (@dmitryduev in #12676)
    • Macs with 256 GB or more of RAM no longer report a memory size of 0 GB (@dmitryduev in #12677)
    • CPU and GPU temperatures are no longer skewed by invalid sensor readings (@dmitryduev in #12678)
    • M5 Pro and M5 Max Macs no longer report 0 efficiency cores (@dmitryduev in #12680)
    • CPU frequencies on the MacBook Neo are no longer reported about 1000 times too high (@dmitryduev in #12681)
    • CPU utilization and frequency are now collected for the efficiency cores of M5 Macs and the performance cores of M5 Pro and M5 Max Macs, which were missing (@dmitryduev in #12682)
  • W&B LEET TUI:
    • wandb leet prints an error when it cannot start, for example without a terminal, instead of exiting with status 1 and no output. Debug logs (WANDB_DEBUG=true) are written next to the LEET config file instead of the current directory (@dmitryduev in #12732)
    • wandb leet no longer sends usage telemetry in offline or disabled mode (WANDB_MODE=offline or WANDB_MODE=disabled), like the rest of the SDK (@dmitryduev in #12733)
    • In narrow terminals, the workspace hides the run overview sidebar, and then the runs list, when they would leave the charts fewer than 24 columns wide. An 80-column terminal previously showed the charts as a one-column sliver between the two sidebars (@dmitryduev in #12731)
    • The top y-axis label of a chart is no longer cut off when it is wider than the other labels, showing for example +03 instead of 1.09e+03 (@dmitryduev in #12727)
