## What the story says

SambaNova uses Weights & Biases Models to track and validate model training, and uses W&B Weave to trace, evaluate and benchmark LLM inference workloads. Its team built an open-source Evaluation Jumpstart Kit on Weave that lets customers compare LLMs on speed, cost and accuracy, with results logged to W&B.

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

> We wanted to have a way to evaluate a lot of LLMs, and just to essentially get loads of data about certain APIs and usage metrics,” said Ankomah. “So Luis built this SambaNova Evaluation Kit, using Weave as the key framework powering this, and you get all the powerful insights from Weave – the score, the reason, things like that.

> We want to see the traces, which LLMs are being used, how many tokens are being generated. The speed, the inference benchmarks, that's all really important for us and our clients, and W&B Weave has been great for answering all of that.
