Honestly, it's really hard for me to tell from the documentations if this is something that is self-hosted, is run locally or is a SaaS product. The phrase "open source" shows up nowhere I can see for example.

As best I can tell it's an open source version of comet or wandb that you run locally (or I guess host somewhere). Is that right?

From what I can glean from the docs, you run the UI locally which reads from experiments from `.aim/`

The experiments results could be populated by running the training job remotely and committing the `.aim/` directory afterwards.

It's kinda like a UI for DVC

yes, it looks like it's meant to be run in a similar way to Tensorboard

I've seen a lot these projects recently. I have used MLFlow for a while and enjoyed it. How does this compare?

Yes, I was looking for the comparison to local MLFlow and Tensorboard (and Losswise, and Weights & Biases, and all the remote options in this ecosystem). It looks nice, but without that, it's difficult to know whether it's worth spending more time looking into it.
