OpenAI acquired AI training monitor Neptune
neptune.aiMany thoughts:
- That wasn't in my bingo list. I guess it's acquisition time and all these AI companies need to spend the money somewhere.
- Congrats to the team. I was a big fan of their devrel work.
- Now both wandb and neptune AI have been acquired. I guess there is no independent MLOps solution left.
- Are they shutting down the product? Is this an acquihire? Does it mean OpenAI has not offices in Europe?
There was an email sent and there's an FAQ saying that they're shutting down the product.
> "(.…) We plan to iterate with them to integrate their tools deep into our training stack to expand our visibility into how models learn."
Kind of means there's an office, yes.
Funny thing I remembered. OpenAI was one of the design partners for wandb. Funny they ended up using then acquiring a competitor.
How CoreWeave(wand) a competitor? I think they are a partner in in infrastructure.
> Are they shutting down the product
Yes. And you only have until 4th March to migrate away!

They are shutting down the product. I haven't received the sunsetting guide. What are people moving to instead?
i moved from wb to neptune because of wb's slow ui, i loved neptune so much i'm seriously considering building a "clone" https://arago.dev . If anyone's interested in using or helping building it, hit me up.
Weights & Biases if they are serious and need performance and scale.
WandB and performance/scale, name a less iconic duo. There’s a reason many labs switched to Neptune.
