What it does

Lightning automates most of the ML research training details. But unlike Keras, it gives users more control which is critical in AI research. Built while doing my PhD at NYU in AI.

Pretrain, finetune ANY AI model of ANY size on 1 or 10,000+ GPUs with zero code changes. - Lightning-AI/pytorch-lightning
