huggingface-trackio
Track and visualize ML training experiments with Trackio. Use when logging metrics during training (Python API), firing alerts for training diagnostics, or retrieving/analyzing logged metrics (CLI). Supports real-time dashboard visualization, alerts with webhooks, HF Space syncing, and JSON output for automation.

What this skill does
Trackio - Experiment Tracking for ML Training Trackio is an experiment tracking library for logging and visualizing ML training metrics. It syncs to Hugging Face Spaces for real-time monitoring dashboards. Three Interfaces Task Interface Reference ------ ----------- ----------- Logging metrics during training Python API references/loggingmetrics.md Firing alerts for training diagnostics Python API references/alerts.md Retrieving metrics & alerts after/during training CLI references/retrievingmetrics.md When to Use Each Python API → Logging Use import trackio in your training scripts to log metrics: Initialize tracking with trackio.init() Log metrics with trackio.log() or use TRL's reportto="trackio" Finalize with trackio.finish() Key concept: For remote/cloud training, pass spaceid — metrics sync to a Space dashboard so they persist after the instance terminates. Auto-created Spaces are public by default — pass private=True if the metrics should not be public. → See references/loggingmetrics.md for setup, TRL integration, and configuration options. Python API → Alerts Insert trackio.alert() calls in training code to flag important events — like inserting print statements for debugging, but structured and queryable: trackio.alert(title="...", level=trackio.AlertLevel.WARN) — fire an alert Three severity levels: INFO, WARN, ERROR Alerts are printed to terminal, stored in the database, shown in the dashboard, and optionally sent to webhooks (Slack/Discord) Key concept for LLM agents: Alerts are the primary mechanism for autonomous experiment iteration. An agent should insert alerts into training code for diagnostic conditions (loss spikes, NaN gradients, low accuracy, training stalls). Since alerts are printed to the terminal, an agent that is watching the training script's output will see them automatically. For background or detached runs, the agent can poll via CLI instead. …
