To train on a machine without internet access and upload your results to W&B later, follow these steps:

1. Set the environment variable WANDB_MODE=offline to save metrics locally without an internet connection.
2. When you’re ready to upload, run wandb init in your directory to set the project name.
3. Run wandb sync [RUN-DIRECTORY] to transfer your metrics to W&B and view your results in the web app. Replace [RUN-DIRECTORY] with the path to your local run directory.

To confirm a run is offline, check run.settings._offline or run.settings.mode after you call wandb.init().
