Wandb

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

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)

Fixed

- Ensure Nvidia GPU metrics are captured if `libnvidia-ml.so` is unavailable when using core (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8138)
- Allow `define_metric("x", step_metric="x")` when using core (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8107)

Added

- Specify job input schemas when calling manage_config_file or manage_wandb_config to create a nicer UI when launching the job (TimH98 in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7907, https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7924, https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7971)
- Use the filesystem rather than protobuf messages to transport manifests with more than 100k entries to the core process (moredatarequired in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7992)
- Adds the `box3d` constructor for `Box3D` (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8086)

Changed

- `run.define_metric()` raises an error when given extraneous arguments (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8040)
- In disabled mode, use the `wandb.sdk.wandb_run.Run` class instead of `wandb.sdk.wandb_run.RunDisabled`, which has been removed (dmitryduev in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8037)
- When `WANDB_MODE = offline` calling `artifact.download()` now throws an error instead of stalling (trane293 in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8009)

Fixed

- Correctly handle directory stubs when logging external artifact in azure storage account with Hierarchical Namespace enabled (marijncv in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7876)
- Docstring in `api.runs()` regarding default sort order, missed in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7675 (fellhorn in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/8063)

Added

- When using wandb-core, support multipart uploads to S3 (moredatarequired in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7659)

Changed

- `run.finish()` may raise an exception in cases where previously it would `os._exit()` (timoffex in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7921)
- `run.link_artifact()` can now surface server errors. (ibindlish in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/6941)

Fixed

- Handle `path_prefix`es that don't correspond to directory names when downloading artifacts (moredatarequired in https://github.com/wandb/wandb/pull/7721)
