Our take
Weights & Biases (W&B) builds development tools for machine learning, helping businesses to create and use deep learning models. For deep learning to work, companies must be able to monitor how models are behaving as they are trained. With over 200,000 customers, W&B has differentiated itself from competitors such as IBM Watson Studio and Valohai by focusing exclusively on machine learning practitioners and not on sales aspects of the technology, and by its competitive pricing.
The company has also launched a product to help different parties collaborate on machine learning models. This is geared towards researchers, reducing the need to rerun their training examples. Over time, this will help machine learning technology evolve. What's more, W&B's technology is free for personal and academic use, which has fueled adoption enormously, and it is now being used by research institutions such as UC Berkeley and enterprise companies like Samsung and Salesforce.
Dependence on machine learning is rising as more businesses use it to handle business tasks. Having raised substantial funding, W&B is moving to further develop its product, grow its team and increase its marketing reach.
