DVCLive is a Python library for logging machine learning metrics and other
metadata in simple file formats, which is fully compatible with DVC.

## Install *dvclive*
```console
$ pip install dvclive
```
## Initialize DVC Repository
```console
$ git init
$ dvc init
$ git commit -m "DVC init"
```
## Example code
Copy the snippet below into `train.py` for a basic API usage example:
```python
import time
import random
from dvclive import Live
params = {"learning_rate": 0.002, "optimizer": "Adam", "epochs": 20}
with Live() as live:
# log a parameters
for param in params:
live.log_param(param, params[param])
# simulate training
offset = random.uniform(0.2, 0.1)
for epoch in range(1, params["epochs"]):
fuzz = random.uniform(0.01, 0.1)
accuracy = 1 - (2 ** - epoch) - fuzz - offset
loss = (2 ** - epoch) + fuzz + offset
# log metrics to studio
live.log_metric("accuracy", accuracy)
live.log_metric("loss", loss)
live.next_step()
time.sleep(0.2)
```
See [Integrations](https://dvc.org/doc/dvclive/ml-frameworks) for examples using
DVCLive alongside different ML Frameworks.
## Running
Run this a couple of times to simulate multiple experiments:
```console
$ python train.py
$ python train.py
$ python train.py
...
```
## Comparing
DVCLive outputs can be rendered in different ways:
### DVC CLI
You can use [dvc exp show](https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/exp/show) and
[dvc plots](https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/plots) to compare and
visualize metrics, parameters and plots across experiments:
```console
$ dvc exp show
```
```

```
```console
$ dvc plots diff $(dvc exp list --names-only) --open
```
### DVC Extension for VS Code
Inside the
[DVC Extension for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Iterative.dvc),
you can compare and visualize results using the
[Experiments](https://github.com/iterative/vscode-dvc/blob/main/extension/resources/walkthrough/experiments-table.md)
and
[Plots](https://github.com/iterative/vscode-dvc/blob/main/extension/resources/walkthrough/plots.md)
views:
While experiments are running, live updates will be displayed in both views.
### DVC Studio
If you push the results to [DVC Studio](https://dvc.org/doc/studio), you can
compare experiments against the entire repo history:
You can enable
[Studio Live Experiments](https://dvc.org/doc/studio/user-guide/projects-and-experiments/live-metrics-and-plots)
to see live updates while experiments are running.

# Comparison to related technologies
**DVCLive** is an *ML Logger*, similar to:
- [MLFlow](https://mlflow.org/)
- [Weights & Biases](https://wandb.ai/site)
- [Neptune](https://neptune.ai/)
The main differences with those *ML Loggers* are:
- **DVCLive** does not **require** any additional services or servers to run.
- **DVCLive** metrics, parameters, and plots are
[stored as plain text files](https://dvc.org/doc/dvclive/how-it-works#directory-structure)
that can be versioned by tools like Git or tracked as pointers to files in DVC
storage.
- **DVCLive** can save experiments or runs as
[hidden Git commits](https://dvc.org/doc/dvclive/how-it-works#track-the-results).
You can then use different [options](#comparing) to visualize the metrics,
parameters, and plots across experiments.
