Usage

Inspect WandB can be installed with:

pip install inspect-wandb

To install the optional Weave extra:

pip install inspect-wandb[weave]

Once Inspect WandB is installed in an environment authenticated with Weights & Biases (either by running wandb login or setting WANDB_API_KEY), the integration will be enabled for future Inspect runs by default. The Inspect logger output will link to the Models dashboard where you can track runs, and also, if you have enabled the weave extra, to the Weave dashboard where you can visualise eval results.

Some configuration options are available, including adjusting wandb config, settings tags, and adjusting Weave trace naming. To dive deeper with Inspect WandB, please see the documentation at https://inspect-wandb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Examples

The following are some examples of the types of data that can be automatically logged to W&B when Inspect WandB is enabled:

Models

The Models integration allows you to track each Inspect eval or eval-set run as a WandB run. This can be useful for having a shared source-of-truth for which evals have been run, as well as storing exact configurations for faithful reproductions in future.

Weave

The Weave integration traces Inspect evaluations, allowing you to track and analyse performance of different models on multiple tasks, visualise and compare result sets, and dig into individual transcripts.
