What Good Model Lifecycle Management Looks Like: Lessons from Pinterest's Journey to Scale

You'll leave this session knowing what mature model lifecycle management actually looks like, and what it takes to get there. Pinterest's ML platform team will share how they think about the full lifecycle, training, registration, artifact packaging, deployment, and serving, and the milestones that mark real progress along the way. Their migration to Weights & Biases (W&B Models) is part of that story, including what changed, what got easier, and what challenges came with it, but the session is really about the broader journey, not just the move itself. You'll walk away with a perspective on what to prioritize as your own model lifecycle matures, and the tradeoffs Pinterest weighed at each stage.
