rename W&B Inference and W&B Sandboxes to Serverless Inference and Serverless Sandboxes

[johndmulhausen]

Summary

• Renames all English-language references to W&B Inference → Serverless Inference across 66 files
• Renames all English-language references to W&B Sandboxes → Serverless Sandboxes (including singular "W&B Sandbox") across all English content
• Updates navigation in docs.json, redirect pages (product-inference.mdx, product-sandboxes.mdx), and scripts/knowledgebase-nav/config.yaml
• Localized content (ja/, ko/, fr/) is intentionally excluded per AGENTS.md — translation is handled through a separate process

Files changed

• Content pages: All inference/, sandboxes/, support/inference/, support/models/, weave/, training/, and root-level content pages
• Navigation: docs.json (16 nav label occurrences updated across all locale nav copies)
• Notebooks: Three Weave cookbook notebooks in weave/cookbooks/source/
• Snippets: snippets/kb_article_map.mdx (English knowledge base article titles)
• Scripts: scripts/knowledgebase-nav/config.yaml
• Anchor links: Fixed internal #w%26b-inference and #w%26b-sandboxes anchors in get-started.mdx product comparison table to #serverless-inference and #serverless-sandboxes

Not changed (intentionally)

• ja/, ko/, fr/ localized content — handled by translation pipeline
• snippets/ja/, snippets/ko/, snippets/fr/ localized snippets
• AGENTS.md, lychee.toml, .claude/scripts/ — internal tooling files

Test plan

• Review spot-check: inference.mdx, sandboxes.mdx, get-started.mdx, docs.json, index.mdx
• Verify anchor links in the product comparison table on /get-started still work
• Run mint broken-links to confirm no broken internal links

Sources and decision log

Source of truth: WBDOCS-2044 — product rename task assigned to John Mulhausen.

What changed and why:

• All occurrences of "W&B Inference" renamed to "Serverless Inference" per the ticket
• All occurrences of "W&B Sandboxes" (and singular "W&B Sandbox") renamed to "Serverless Sandboxes" / "Serverless Sandbox" per the ticket
• Replacement was applied to: page titles (frontmatter), body text, section headings, card titles, code comments, illustrative code strings (like echo "Hello from Serverless Sandboxes!"), notebook markdown cells, nav labels in docs.json, and the knowledgebase nav config

What was intentionally omitted:

• Localized content (ja/, ko/, fr/, localized snippets) — per AGENTS.md, translation changes are handled separately
• lychee.toml, .claude/scripts/run_author_docs_eval.py — internal tooling references to old names do not affect published docs

Anchor fix: The product comparison table in get-started.mdx used URL-encoded anchors (#w%26b-inference, #w%26b-sandboxes). These were updated to #serverless-inference and #serverless-sandboxes to match the renamed headings.

Code strings: The echo command in sandboxes.mdx (echo "Hello from Serverless Sandboxes!") was updated because it is illustrative output demonstrating the product, not a functional API call.

Needs SME verification

• Confirm "Serverless Inference" and "Serverless Sandboxes" are the final, approved marketing names (no further variations like "W&B Serverless Inference" needed)
• Confirm the knowledgebase article titles in snippets/kb_article_map.mdx should use the new names (these appear in support article metadata)

Resume prompt

To continue this work in a new session:

PR: #2565
Branch: john/WBDOCS-2044-rename-serverless-products
Ticket: WBDOCS-2044

What was done: Renamed "W&B Inference" → "Serverless Inference" and "W&B Sandboxes" / "W&B Sandbox" → "Serverless Sandboxes" / "Serverless Sandbox" across 66 English-language content files. Localized content (ja/, ko/, fr/) was intentionally left unchanged per AGENTS.md.

Key decisions:

1. Excluded lychee.toml, .claude/scripts/ from changes
2. Fixed anchor links in get-started.mdx product comparison table
3. Updated illustrative code strings as well as prose and headings
4. Notebooks in weave/cookbooks/source/ were also updated

Pending: SME confirmation that the new product names are final before marking the PR ready for review.
