What is the difference between `.log()` and `.summary`?

The summary displays in the table, while the log saves all values for future plotting.

For instance, call wandb.log whenever accuracy changes. By default, wandb.log() updates the summary value unless set manually for that metric.

The scatterplot and parallel coordinate plots use the summary value, while the line plot shows all values recorded by .log.

Some users prefer to set the summary manually to reflect the optimal accuracy instead of the most recent accuracy logged.
