## What the story says

OpenFold, an open source project that recreates AlphaFold 2 as a trainable model, uses Weights & Biases to log, track, compare and visualize its model training experiments. The tool gives team members a shared record of experiments, and nearly all experiments in the lab are now tracked there.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Weights & Biases and OpenFold, not ours.

> With Weights & Biases, there was a system of record for team members to track and improve on each other’s experiments, keeping the entire team moving forward together.

> It's been a great solution for logging and tracking training runs. It's nice that you can easily superimpose different runs too. That was particularly useful for us, for example, during our ablation studies.

> Gustaf Ahdritz, Lead Developer
