W&B supports anonymous runs so that people without an account can view experiment results and optionally claim them later. If someone runs the script with anonymous="allow":
  1. Auto-create temporary account: W&B checks for a signed-in account. If none exists, W&B creates a new anonymous account and saves the API key for that session.
  2. Log results quickly: You can run the script repeatedly and view results in the W&B dashboard. These unclaimed anonymous runs remain available for 7 days.
  3. Claim data when itโ€™s useful: After you identify useful results in W&B, click a button in the banner at the top of the page to save your run data to a real account. Without claiming, the run data is deleted after 7 days.
Anonymous run links are sensitive. These links permit anyone to view and claim experiment results for 7 days, so share links only with trusted individuals. For publicly sharing results while hiding the authorโ€™s identity, contact support@wandb.com for assistance.
When a W&B user finds and runs the script, the results log correctly to their account, like a normal run.
