What is Comet ML?
Comet ML is one of the established ML experiment tracking platforms, competing with Weights & Biases as a comprehensive platform for logging ML experiments, tracking model performance across training runs, managing model registries, and evaluating LLM outputs. Founded in 2017, Comet predates the current LLM wave and has expanded from classical ML tracking to include LLMOps tooling.
Automatic experiment tracking captures hyperparameters, code snapshots, metrics, system metrics, and model artefacts from ML training runs with minimal instrumentation — adding a few lines of code to a training script instruments everything Comet tracks. The no-instrumentation auto-logging option works with popular frameworks (Keras, PyTorch Lightning, Hugging Face Trainer) without any code changes.
Comet Optics is the LLM evaluation and monitoring layer, providing prompt management, LLM output evaluation (hallucination detection, relevance scoring), and production monitoring of LLM applications — positioning Comet alongside Langfuse and Braintrust for the LLMOps market.
The model registry manages the model lifecycle from experiment to production — tracking which experiment produced which model, storing model artefacts with versioning, managing deployment status, and providing a single interface for model governance.
Team collaboration features allow multiple data scientists to share experiments, compare runs across team members, and annotate results — critical for large ML teams where parallel experimentation is the norm.
How Comet ML works
Comet ML runs as ml platform software built around data and code workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on python, r, and java, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.

What makes it worth shortlisting
The capabilities that matter most for teams evaluating Comet ML.
Automatic experiment tracking
Captures hyperparameters, metrics, code snapshots, and artefacts from ML training with minimal instrumentation using auto-logging for common frameworks.
Comet Optics LLM evaluation
Prompt management, LLM output evaluation (hallucination, relevance), and production monitoring for LLM applications extending beyond classical ML tracking.
Model registry
Manages model lifecycle from experiment to production with artefact versioning, deployment status tracking, and model governance in a single interface.
Best use cases
Who should use it
Pros
- Free plan provides meaningful single-user experiment tracking for individual researchers
- Comet Optics LLM evaluation expands scope beyond classical ML tracking to the current LLM era
