Where are artifacts stored locally?

W&B Help
1

Hi,

As the title says, where are the artifacts stored locally when I save an artifact? How can I change its default location? It seems that changing WANDB_DIR does not change where artifacts are stored. On the other hand, I found many folders in .../wandb/artifacts/obj/md5, what are these folders? Can I change its default saving location? Thanks

Hey Tao, checking on that for you.

Hey Tao, apologies about the delay on this one. The artifacts you create during a run will be placed in the run directory where the run information is logged (and as such the artifacts logged to a run will be placed in a nested directory starting with the WANDB_DIR).
When you are downloading an artifact you can pass the directory to save to in that case: https://docs.wandb.ai/ref/python/artifact#download
