Wandb

Added

- Add the ability to monitor the utilization metrics of Google's Cloud TPU devices (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8504)

Fixed

- Capture Nvidia GPU stats on Windows (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8524)
- Fixed a regression introduced in v0.18.2 that affected capturing the names of Nvidia GPU devices (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8503)
- `run.log_artifact()` no longer blocks other data uploads until the artifact upload finishes (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8466)
- Fixed media dependency for rdkit updated from `rdkit-pypi` to `rdkit` (jacobromero in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/compare/WB-20894)
- Saving an artifact with many large files no longer exhausts OS threads (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8518)

Changed

- After `artifact = run.log_artifact()`, you must use `artifact.wait()` before operations that rely on the artifact having been uploaded. Previously, this wasn't necessary in some cases because `run.log_artifact()` blocked other operations on the run (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8466)

Added

- Add `upsert_run_queue` method to `wandb.Api`. (bcsherma in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8348)
- Add `tags` parameter to `wandb.Api.artifacts()` to filter artifacts by tag. (moredatarequired in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8441)

Fixed

- Update the signature and docstring of `wandb.api.public.runs.Run.log_artifact()` to support artifact tags like `Run` instances returned by `wandb.init()`. (tonyyli-wandb in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8414)
- Add docstring for `wandb.watch` to support auto-complete (kptkin in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8425)
- Fix glob matching in define metric to work with logged keys containing `/` (KyleGoyette in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8434)
- Allow `a\.b` syntax in run.define_metric to refer to a dotted metric name (jacobromero in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8445)
- NOTE: Not fixed if using `wandb.require("legacy-service")`
- Fix Unknown image format error when uploading a gif through tensorboard. (jacobromero in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8476)
- Fix `OSError` from calling `Artifact.add_file` with file paths on mounted filesystems (tonyyli-wandb in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8473)
- Restored compatibility for macOS versions <= 10.15 for wandb-core. (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8487)

Fixed

- Allow all users to read cache files when core is enabled (moredatarequired in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8362)
- Infinite scalars logged in TensorBoard are uploaded successfully rather than skipped (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8380)
- Properly respect `WANDB_ERROR_REPORTING=false`. This fixes a regression introduced in 0.18.0 (kptkin in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8379)

Changed

- Remove sentry logging for sendLinkArtifact (ibindlish in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8422)
- Default to capturing requirements.txt in Run.log_code (KyleGoyette in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7864)

Added

- Add support for artifact tags, via `Artifact.tags` and `Run.log_artifact()` (tonyyli-wandb in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8085)

Fixed

- Detect the notebook name in VS Code's built-in jupyter server (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8311)

Changed

- The new "core" backend, previously activated using wandb.require("core"), is now used by default. To revert to the legacy behavior,
add `wandb.require("legacy-service")` at the beginning of your script. Note: In the upcoming minor release, the option
to disable this new behavior will be removed (kptkin in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7777)

Changed

- Changed the default system metrics sampling interval to 10 seconds without averaging, while allowing custom intervals via `wandb.init(settings=wandb.Settings(_stats_sampling_interval=...))` (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8208)

Deprecated

- `define_metric(summary='best', goal=...)` is deprecated and soon will be removed, use `define_metric(summary='min')` or `define_metric(summary='min')` instead (kptkin in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8219)

Added

- Capture SM (Streaming Multiprocessor), memory, and graphics clock speed (MHz), (un)corrected error counts, fan speed (%), and encoder utilization for Nvidia GPU devices when using core (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8144)
- Allow iterating over `wandb.Config` like a dictionary (fsherry in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8129)
- PR curves, images and histograms are supported when using TensorBoard with core enabled (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8181, https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8188, https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8189)
- Added `wandb.require("legacy-service")` as the opt-out analog of `wandb.require("core")` (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8201)

Fixed

- Avoid leaving behind wandb-core process if user hits Ctrl+C twice (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8153)
- Fix deprecation warnings arising from NumPy >= 2.1 by removing `newshape` argument from `numpy.reshape` by phinate in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8167
- Skip uploading/downloading GCS reference artifact manifest entries corresponding to folders (amusipatla-wandb in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8084)

Deprecated

- Ability to disable the service process (`WANDB__DISABLE_SERVICE`) is deprecated and will be removed in the next minor release (kptkin in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8193)
