// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Weights & Biases

A platform for tracking, visualizing, and managing machine learning experiments, helping teams collaborate and understand model training.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

Weights & Biases (W&B) is a proprietary MLOps platform for experiment tracking, visualization, and collaboration, providing tools for logging metrics, hyperparameter tuning, model versioning, and dataset management for deep learning projects.

BACKGROUND

A large language model (LLM) is a neural network trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. LLMs can typically generate, summarize, translate and analyze text in many contexts, and are a foundational technology behind modern chatbots. Biased or inaccurate training data can make an LLM's output less reliable.
