Why isn't W&B Inference available for my personal account?

Personal accounts don’t support W&B Inference. You’ll see this 429 error: “W&B Inference isn’t available for personal accounts. Please switch to a non-personal account to access W&B Inference.”

Background

Personal entities were deprecated in May 2024. This only affects legacy accounts that still use personal entities.

How to access W&B Inference

Create a Team

  1. Log in to your W&B account
  2. Click on your profile icon in the top right
  3. Select “Create new team”
  4. Choose a team name
  5. Use this team for W&B Inference requests

Update your code

Change from personal entity to team:

Before (doesn’t work):

project="your-username/project-name"  # Personal entity

After (works):

project="your-team/project-name"  # Team entity

Benefits of using Teams

  • Access to W&B Inference
  • Better collaboration features
