Trackio is an experiment tracking library for logging and visualizing ML training metrics. It syncs to Hugging Face Spaces for real-time monitoring dashboards.
| Task | Interface | Reference | |------|-----------|-----------| | Logging metrics during training | Python API | references/logging_metrics.md | | Retrieving metrics after/during training | CLI | references/retrieving_metrics.md |
Use import trackio in your training scripts to log metrics:
trackio.init()trackio.log() or use TRL's report_to="trackio"trackio.finish()Key concept: For remote/cloud training, pass space_id — metrics sync to a Space dashboard so they persist after the instance terminates.
→ See references/logging_metrics.md for setup, TRL integration, and configuration options.
Use the trackio command to query logged metrics:
trackio list projects/runs/metrics — discover what's availabletrackio get project/run/metric — retrieve summaries and valuestrackio show — launch the dashboardtrackio sync — sync to HF SpaceKey concept: Add --json for programmatic output suitable for automation and LLM agents.
→ See references/retrieving_metrics.md for all commands, workflows, and JSON output formats.
import trackio
trackio.init(project="my-project", space_id="username/trackio")
trackio.log({"loss": 0.1, "accuracy": 0.9})
trackio.log({"loss": 0.09, "accuracy": 0.91})
trackio.finish()
trackio list projects --json
trackio get metric --project my-project --run my-run --metric loss --json
tools
Use this skill when the user wants to build tool/scripts or achieve a task where using data from the Hugging Face API would help. This is especially useful when chaining or combining API calls or the task will be repeated/automated. This Skill creates a reusable script to fetch, enrich or process data.
data-ai
Publish and manage research papers on Hugging Face Hub. Supports creating paper pages, linking papers to models/datasets, claiming authorship, and generating professional markdown-based research articles.
development
This skill should be used when users want to train or fine-tune language models using TRL (Transformer Reinforcement Learning) on Hugging Face Jobs infrastructure. Covers SFT, DPO, GRPO and reward modeling training methods, plus GGUF conversion for local deployment. Includes guidance on the TRL Jobs package, UV scripts with PEP 723 format, dataset preparation and validation, hardware selection, cost estimation, Trackio monitoring, Hub authentication, and model persistence. Should be invoked for tasks involving cloud GPU training, GGUF conversion, or when users mention training on Hugging Face Jobs without local GPU setup.
development
This skill should be used when users want to run any workload on Hugging Face Jobs infrastructure. Covers UV scripts, Docker-based jobs, hardware selection, cost estimation, authentication with tokens, secrets management, timeout configuration, and result persistence. Designed for general-purpose compute workloads including data processing, inference, experiments, batch jobs, and any Python-based tasks. Should be invoked for tasks involving cloud compute, GPU workloads, or when users mention running jobs on Hugging Face infrastructure without local setup.
