Built by the team behind Weights & Biases, Weave aims to bring structure, best practices, and composability to the inherently experimental process of building AI software. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools to manage the entire LLM workflow, from initial experimentation to robust evaluations and production deployment.\n\n## Installation\n\nTo get started with Weave, ensure you have Python 3.9 or higher and a free Weights & Biases account.\n\n-   **Install Weave**:\n    bash\n    pip install weave\n    \n\n-   **Import and initialize**:\n    python\n    import weave\n    weave.init(\"my-project-name\")\n    \n\n-   **Trace your functions**:\n    Decorate any function you want to track with `@weave.op()`.\n\n## Examples\n\nWeave allows you to trace any function, from API calls to LLMs to custom data transformations, providing a detailed trace tree of inputs and outputs.\n\n## Basic Tracing\n\npython\nimport weave\nweave.init(\"weave-example\")\n\n@weave.op()\ndef sum_nine(value_one: int):\n    return value_one + 9\n\n@weave.op()\ndef multiply_two(value_two: int):\n    return value_two * 2\n\n@weave.op()\ndef main():\n    output = sum_nine(3)\n    final_output = multiply_two(output)\n    return final_output\n\nmain()\n\n\n## Fuller Example with OpenAI\n\nThis example demonstrates how to trace an LLM call to extract structured information.\n\npython\nimport weave\nimport json\nfrom openai import OpenAI\n\n@weave.op()\ndef extract_fruit(sentence: str) -> dict:\n    client = OpenAI()\n\n    response = client.chat.completions.create(\n    model=\"gpt-3.5-turbo-1106\",\n    messages=[\n        {\n            \"role\": \"system\",\n            \"content\": \"You will be provided with unstructured data, and your task is to parse it one JSON dictionary with fruit, color and flavor as keys.\"\n        },\n        {\n            \"role\": \"user\",\n            \"content\": sentence\n        }\n        ],\n        temperature=0.7,\n        response_format={ \"type\": \"json_object\" }\n    )\n    extracted = response.choices[0].message.content\n    return json.loads(extracted)\n\nweave.init('intro-example')\n\nsentence = \"There are many fruits that were found on the recently discovered planet Goocrux. There are neoskizzles that grow there, which are purple and taste like candy.\"\n\nextract_fruit(sentence)\n\n\n## Why Use Weave?\n\nWeave addresses critical challenges in Generative AI development by enabling you to:\n\n-   **Log and debug** language model inputs, outputs, and traces effectively.\n-   **Build rigorous, apples-to-apples evaluations** for various language model use cases.\n-   **Organize all the information** generated across the LLM workflow, from experimentation to evaluations to production.\n-   Bring rigor, best practices, and composability to the inherently experimental process of developing Generative AI software, without introducing unnecessary cognitive overhead.\n\n## Links\n\n-   **GitHub Repository**: [wandb/weave](https://github.com/wandb/weave)\n-   **Official Documentation**: [Weave Docs](https://wandb.me/weave)\n-   **Open in Colab**: [Colab Notebook](http://wandb.me/weave_colab)","metrics":{"detailViews":6,"githubClicks":5},"dates":{"published":null,"modified":"2025-11-03T20:01:27.000Z"}}
