Is it possible to save metrics offline and sync them to W&B later?
less than a minute
By default, wandb.init
starts a process that syncs metrics in real time to the cloud. For offline use, set two environment variables to enable offline mode and sync later.
Set the following environment variables:
WANDB_API_KEY=$KEY
, where$KEY
is the API Key from your settings page.WANDB_MODE="offline"
.
Here is an example of implementing this in a script:
import wandb
import os
os.environ["WANDB_API_KEY"] = "YOUR_KEY_HERE"
os.environ["WANDB_MODE"] = "offline"
config = {
"dataset": "CIFAR10",
"machine": "offline cluster",
"model": "CNN",
"learning_rate": 0.01,
"batch_size": 128,
}
wandb.init(project="offline-demo")
for i in range(100):
wandb.log({"accuracy": i})
Sample terminal output is shown below:

After completing work, run the following command to sync data to the cloud:
wandb sync wandb/dryrun-folder-name
