Support

Why does my Weave cost or token estimate differ from my provider?

Weave displays cost and token usage estimates based on data captured from your LLM calls, and discrepancies between Weave’s numbers and your provider’s invoice can be caused by the following issues.

Why is my W&B run slow to initialize or upload?

Slow wandb.init() or sluggish metric uploads are usually caused by network latency, large media payloads, high logging frequency, or slow startup of the W&B service process.

Why is my sweep agent not picking up new runs?

If your sweep agent starts but does not receive new run configurations, or receives one run and then idles, there are several common causes.

Why is my run showing as crashed?

W&B marks a run as Crashed when it stops receiving heartbeats from the process that called wandb.init(), without the process having called wandb.finish().

Why is console output not captured for my run?

W&B captures your script’s stdout and stderr and stores it as output.log on the run’s Files tab.

Why does my API key fail with 'must be 40 characters long'?

W&B now issues longer API keys (about 86 characters).

Why do my workspace settings not persist between sessions?

Workspace layout (panels, filters, grouping) persists only when you save a view.

Why are my metrics missing from wandb.log()?

If metrics logged with wandb.log() are not appearing in the W&B UI, there are several common causes.

I deleted my team and now I can't create a new one — what do I do?

When you sign up for W&B, the platform automatically creates a personal team with the same name as your username.

How do I use W&B with JAX?

W&B has no JAX-specific integration.

How do I use the parallel coordinates chart in W&B?

The parallel coordinates chart shows how hyperparameters relate to metrics across many runs.

How do I update run config, tags, and notes via the W&B API?

After a run finishes, use the Public API guide to edit config, display name, tags, and notes without re-running the experiment.

How do I set up W&B alerts and notifications?

You can set up alerts in and notifications using the W&B Settings page.

How do I page through large API results in W&B?

You can page through API result using the standard lazy-iterator pattern and perpage parameter.

How do I log NLP metrics and text outputs in W&B?

You can log corpus-level NLP scores (BLEU, ROUGE, perplexity) with wandb.log() and per-example outputs with wandb.Table.

How do I log gradients and model weights with wandb.watch()?

wandb.watch() hooks into a PyTorch model’s parameters and gradients and logs histograms of their values at regular intervals.

How do I invite a user to my W&B team?

Only team admins can send invitations.

How do I download the console log file from a run?

W&B stores your script’s stdout and stderr as output.log (or multipart chunks under logs/).

How do I create a new team in W&B?

Teams are the primary unit of collaboration in W&B.

How do I connect to W&B Self-Managed?

W&B Self-Managed is a self-hosted deployment that runs in your infrastructure.

Can I resume a run inside a sweep?

Run resumption is not supported inside a W&B sweep.

API error code 422 - Invalid request parameters

Invalid parameters on chat completion requests often surface as HTTP 422 (Unprocessable Entity) or HTTP 400 (Bad Request) depending on where validation runs.

API error code 404 - Model not found

A 404 response from the W&B Inference API means the server could not find the model or resource you asked for.

How do I log in to W&B Self-Managed?

To authenticate to a W&B Self-Managed instance, point the CLI and SDK at your instance URL before you log in:

Which Weave API should I use to trace my agent?

It depends on what you’re building:

What is the difference between @weave.op and weave.start_session?

@weave.op traces individual Python functions and surfaces results in the Traces tab.

Support

Why doesn't `.call()` raise exceptions?

By default, Weave’s .call() method captures exceptions and stores them in call.exception instead of raising them.

Why does my workspace load slowly?

Workspaces can load slowly when a project has many metrics, runs, or panels.

Why does my training hang with distributed training?

This article helps you resolve training hangs when you use W&B with distributed training frameworks, so your runs can start and finish without stalling.

How do I fix service account errors like `Unauthorized` or missing runs?

How do I fix `Rate limit exceeded` errors when logging metrics?

If you receive an HTTP 429 Rate limit exceeded error when you call wandb.log(), you’re exceeding the rate limit quota for your project.

If you see Cuda out of memory during a sweep, refactor your code to use process-based execution.

How do I fix `CommError, Run does not exist` during a sweep?

If you see both CommError, Run does not exist and ERROR Error uploading during a sweep, the most likely cause is that you’re setting a run ID manually in your code:

Why can't I link my artifact to the Registry?

If you can’t link an artifact to a W&B Registry, the most common cause is that the artifact was logged with a personal entity instead of a team entity.

An anaconda 400 error during a sweep often means you didn’t log the metric you’re optimizing.
