Official Description
The holy grail of agentic AI tooling is the autoresearch loop: an agent that can sift through your
experiments, create visualizations, propose a hypothesis, launch a training job, read the results,
and try again autonomously. In this session, we'll show new autoresearch capabilities built directly
into the W&B Models web and iOS apps. We will demo these live using a real-world fine-tuning
project, covering everything from launching jobs and reading loss curves to surfacing outlier runs
that consume researcher hours and recommending the next steps. Then you'll learn how the eval-driven
development loop in W&B Weave makes agents like this trustworthy. You'll see how production traces
become benchmarks, and how only the agents that beat the bar make it to production. Join us to learn
the same loop we use to improve our own agentic features.
