Prototype to production: How Weights & Biases and ClickHouse help teams scale AI development

Weights & Biases (W&B) is an AI developer platform founded in 2017 that aims to help engineering teams overcome the challenges of taking AI projects from impressive prototypes to reliable production systems. The platform provides tools for tracking experiments, versioning datasets, and managing machine learning workflows, making AI development more efficient and reproducible. W&B relies on ClickHouse's high-performance, low-latency capabilities to handle the large data volumes that come with scaling AI projects for production. As more teams develop AI models, there is an expectation that they can seamlessly move these models into production to create real-world impact. However, this transition often proves difficult due to gaps in developer tools for GenAI operations. W&B addresses this issue by providing tools for tracking experiments, versioning datasets, and managing workflows, making AI development more accessible and efficient.
