This guide shows you how to use dynamic Leaderboards to visualize, customize, save, and update Leaderboard views directly from your Weave Evaluations. Dynamic Leaderboards help you track and compare model performance over time as new experiments accumulate, so you can maintain persistent, up-to-date views without re-creating them each time. This page is for users who are already running Weave Evaluations and want to organize results into shareable, reusable views. When working with Weave Evaluations, you can visualize and customize your experiment results as Leaderboards. Saved Leaderboard views are dynamic. As you add new evaluation runs and as results match the saved filters, the Leaderboard automatically updates to include them, without requiring manual reconfiguration. This lets you use views as persistent Leaderboards that evolve alongside your experiments.

​
Visualize evaluation results in a Leaderboard

When your project contains Weave Evaluation data, you can use the evaluation table to quickly create a Weave Leaderboard view based on a filtered subset of results. To create a Weave Leaderboard:
  1. Navigate to wandb.ai.
  2. In the Weave sidebar menu, click Evaluations.
  3. Apply filters to the evaluation table to narrow the data to the models, datasets, or runs you want to compare.
  4. In the evaluation table toolbar, click Visualize. Weave automatically creates a Leaderboard panel using only the data currently filtered in the table.
  5. In the Leaderboard panel header, click Configure to open the Edit Leaderboard panel. The Edit Leaderboard panel gives you fine-grained control over how models, datasets, scorers, and metrics appear.
The following shows how a filtered evaluation table is visualized as a Leaderboard and where to configure the resulting Leaderboard.

Configure Leaderboard elements with visibility and custom names

The Edit Leaderboard panel lets you control which elements appear in the Leaderboard and how they’re labeled. The following shows the Edit Leaderboard panel with four configuration tabs: Models, Datasets, Scorers, and Metrics.

In the Edit Leaderboard panel, you can:
  • Activate or deactivate display
    Select which models, datasets, scorers, and metrics appear in the Leaderboard by checking or unchecking them.
  • Rename models, datasets, and scorers
    Assign display-friendly names (for example, renaming a model run to GPT-4 or a dataset to JokesV1).     Renamed items:
    • Update immediately in the Leaderboard.
    • Remain clickable so you can still open the underlying reference in the side panel.
    • Automatically propagate anywhere the Leaderboard view is used.
This makes it easier to compare experiments using meaningful, human-readable names without changing the underlying objects.

​
Configure Leaderboard metric behavior and coloring

Different metrics require different interpretations of “good” performance. The Edit Leaderboard panel lets you set the direction for each metric so that visual highlighting matches your intent. In the Edit Leaderboard panel, for each metric, you can specify one of the following directions:
  • Higher values are better
  • Lower values are better
This setting directly affects Leaderboard coloring:
  • Green highlights the better value.
  • Red highlights the worse value.
  • Colors automatically invert when you switch between “higher is better” and “lower is better”.
This ensures that visual cues remain accurate across different types of metrics (for example, accuracy compared to latency or error rate).

​
Save and reuse Leaderboard views

After you customize a Leaderboard, you can save it as a named view so you and your team can return to the same configuration later. In the Edit Leaderboard panel, click Save to save your customized Leaderboard as a reusable view. The saved Leaderboard view captures:
  • Selected models, datasets, scorers, and metrics.
  • Renamed display labels.
  • Metric direction settings (higher or lower is better).
  • Applied filters.

​
Switch between saved views

Click the menu () button next to the Evaluations page title to open saved views. You can:
  • Return to the default view to see the full dataset.
  • Reopen a saved view to restore all customizations.
When you reopen a saved view, all renames and metric settings are preserved.
