September 2025 performance summary for NVIDIA-NeMo/Megatron-Bridge: Delivered a critical fix to WandB configuration logging to improve experiment traceability and reproducibility. Replaced YAML-based loading/dumping with direct dictionary conversion to guarantee complete configuration is serialized and sent to wandb. Updated unit tests to validate the new handling and prevent regressions. This work strengthens experiment telemetry, reduces configuration drift across runs, and enhances overall reliability of the logging pipeline. Key commit included: 5022b318d4f157c67c20d754983b93332980a4c3 ("fix: log config container as dict for wandb config (#713)").
