+For tensorboard logging, run:
 ```bash
 tensorboard --logdir=logs/tensorboard/ --port=7777
 ```
 
+For wandb logging, we recommend looking at the `step` variable instead of `Step`, since the later was not properly set in earlier versions of this codebase.
+For older runs with models trained before https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip/pull/613, the `Step` variable should be ignored.
+For newer runs, after that PR, the two variables are the same.

 ## Evaluation / Zero-Shot
 
 We recommend https://github.com/LAION-AI/CLIP_benchmark#how-to-use for systematic evaluation on 40 datasets.
