Skore + Weights & Biases — Add what W&B is missing for scikit-learn
For Weights & Biases users

W&B does training monitoring well.
Skore adds what it's missing for scikit-learn.

Skore is a Python library built by the scikit-learn founders. It evaluates and inspects your predictive models, structures your experiments, and stores results on your machine—so you can start without operating a separate tracking server. When you are ready, sync reports to Skore Hub. Open source.

W&B focuses on training monitoring and cloud dashboarding. Skore adds structured evaluation that runs locally first—reports, task-appropriate metrics, and methodological guidance for scikit-learn workflows—so you can tell a clear story before you log runs to your existing stack.

W&B is good at what it does.
This isn't about replacing it.
It's about what Skore adds for scikit-learn.

W&B emphasizes training monitoring and flexible cloud dashboarding. For classical ML with scikit-learn, Skore gives you structured evaluation and retrieval on your machine first—reports, visuals, and tables tied to one evaluation—without rebuilding the glue code hosted trackers depended on. When your team wants a shared, data-science–oriented workspace, sync the same reports to Skore Hub. Use W&B where it shines; use Skore where scikit-learn evaluation is the job.

What Skore adds

Track your data science

Skore is a Python library to evaluate and get insights from your predictive models. It structures and stores your experiments so you can easily retrieve them later—without rebuilding the fragile glue code that hosted experiment trackers depended on. Alongside W&B, it gives you a dedicated scikit-learn evaluation layer that runs local-first.

Reports for your experiments

Evaluate one or several estimators with a holdout split or cross-validation and get a structured report from one entry point. You get an estimator report, a cross-validation report, or a comparison report—each with the same mental model so you can explore how your predictive models behave while you experiment.

Get insights that matter

Turn results into clear visualizations through rich displays, and pull the underlying tables when you need to dig deeper—so figures and numbers stay tied to the same evaluation instead of drifting across notebooks and slides.

Store and retrieve your reports

Projects store and retrieve your reports so you can revisit insights or compare with new experiments later. Keep everything on disk locally, or use Skore Hub when you want exploration and search in a dedicated interface.

Metrics that fit your task

Skore selects appropriate metrics for your estimator and problem type so your evaluation matches what you actually optimized for—without extra configuration. That complements W&B, where you typically choose what to log yourself.

Methodological warnings

Shuffling time-series data, ignoring class imbalance, fitting preprocessors on the full dataset—these kinds of setup issues can inflate your scores. Skore surfaces actionable warnings in the evaluation flow so you catch them early, before you treat noisy metrics as ground truth.

Built for scikit-learn workflows

By the scikit-learn core maintainers. Skore is built around scikit-learn–compatible estimators—not a generic adapter. Use skore.Project with mode="hub" when you want reports in Skore Hub’s UI (metrics, folds, figures in one place).

Side by side

Skore and W&B — different tools, different jobs

W&B

Weights & Biases focuses on

  • Training monitoring for deep learning and LLMs
  • Flexible loss and metric logging
  • Cloud-based dashboarding and team collaboration
  • Interactive visualisations and flexible reporting

Typical setup centers on cloud logging and dashboards; scikit-learn use cases often still mean manual metric choices and custom panels.

SK

Skore focuses on

  • Evaluate and inspect scikit-learn–compatible models—local-first, no tracking server required
  • Structured reports — editorial guidance, not blank dashboards
  • Auto metric selection and methodological warnings
  • Projects to store and retrieve reports; optional Skore Hub sync

See it in practice

Less scaffolding. More signal.

Call skore.evaluate with any scikit-learn–compatible estimator and you get a structured report. That report adapts to the kind of evaluation you want—holdout, cross-validation, or a comparison across models. Add Skore alongside W&B—no need to rip out your current stack.

Example
import skore, skrub
from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge

model = skrub.tabular_pipeline(Ridge())
report = skore.evaluate(model, df, y, splitter=0.2)
report
import skore, skrub
from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge

model = skrub.tabular_pipeline(Ridge())
report = skore.evaluate(model, df, y, splitter=5)
report
import skore, skrub
from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor

models = [
    skrub.tabular_pipeline(Ridge()),
    skrub.tabular_pipeline(RandomForestRegressor()),
]
comparison_report = skore.evaluate(models, df, y, splitter=5)
comparison_report
Skore Hub

Store reports. Open them where data scientists look.

Most workflows start with projects on disk: evaluate, store runs, and reopen reports without running your own tracking server. When you want experiments in a shared, hosted workspace, point the same project at Skore Hub—reports sync there and open in a UI built for data scientists (metrics, folds, figures in one place). See skore.Project for local versus hub modes.

Push a report to the hub
import skore

# `report` from skore.evaluate(...)
project = skore.Project(name="adult_census_survey", mode="hub")
project.put("ridge", report)
