What it is

Aim is an open-source experiment tracker that logs training runs, AI metadata, and enables comparison/observation through a web UI with programmatic query API. It captures metrics, parameters, and artifacts from ML workflows (TensorFlow, PyTorch, CatBoost, etc.) and provides a React-based dashboard for analysis and visualization. Monorepo structure: Python backend in aim/ with CLI (aim/cli), core tracking API (aim/init.py), integrations (aim/catboost.py, aim/distributed_hugging_face.py), and storage layer (aim/cli/storage). Separate React frontend (ui_v2/) with Material-UI, Radix UI, and D3/Plotly for visualization. CLI entry point routes to subcommands: init, server, runs, storage,…

Start here

Open these first:

• aim/__init__.py — Main SDK entry point that exposes Run, Sequence, and Image classes for experiment tracking.
• aim/sdk — Core SDK layer directory containing tracking primitives and data model implementations.
• aim/cli/cli.py — CLI command dispatcher defining init, up, server, runs, and storage subcommands.
• aim/ext/transport/server.py — Backend server implementation handling client-server communication for tracking data.
• aim/ext/transport/client.py — Client-side transport layer managing remote resource tracking and request queuing.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/aimhubio/aim.git
cd aim
pip install -e .  # installs Python package in dev mode
cd ui_v2 && npm install  # installs React frontend dependencies

Verify setup in CONTRIBUTING.md and repository manifest for exact dev environment requirements before running.

Daily commands:

Backend: aim up (from CLI, see aim/cli/up/commands.py). Frontend dev server: cd ui_v2 && npm start (uses react-scripts 4.0.3). Verify exact commands in aim/cli/server/commands.py and CONTRIBUTING.md before executing.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Scorecard: marked unmaintained (0/10)
• No explicit environment variables documented in file list — verify aim/cli/configs.py for runtime config requirements. The storage layer (aim/cli/storage) may have default paths or database initialization that differ…
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.

Evidence note

Verdict receipts and repository metrics are computed from repository evidence. Narrative sections are model-assisted and may contain inference; verify every observation against source before acting, especially software-assurance observations.
