Lightning-AI/pytorch-lightning: Pretrain, finetune ANY AI model of ANY size on multiple GPUs, TPUs with zero code changes.

Training models in plain PyTorch is tedious and error-prone - you have to manually handle things like backprop, mixed precision, multi-GPU, and distributed training, often rewriting code for every new project. PyTorch Lightning organizes PyTorch code to automate those complexities so you can focus on your model and data, while keeping full control and scaling from CPU to multi-node without changing your core code. But if you want control of those things, you can still opt into more DIY.

Fun analogy: If PyTorch is Javascript, PyTorch Lightning is ReactJS or NextJS.

Lightning has 2 core packages

PyTorch Lightning: Train and deploy PyTorch at scale.
Lightning Fabric: Expert control.

Lightning gives you granular control over how much abstraction you want to add over PyTorch.

PyTorch Lightning example

Define the training workflow. Here's a toy example (explore real examples):

# main.py
# ! pip install torchvision
import torch, torch.nn as nn, torch.utils.data as data, torchvision as tv, torch.nn.functional as F
import lightning as L

# --------------------------------
# Step 1: Define a LightningModule
# --------------------------------
# A LightningModule (nn.Module subclass) defines a full *system*
# (ie: an LLM, diffusion model, autoencoder, or simple image classifier).


class LitAutoEncoder(L.LightningModule):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.encoder = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(28 * 28, 128), nn.ReLU(), nn.Linear(128, 3))
        self.decoder = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(3, 128), nn.ReLU(), nn.Linear(128, 28 * 28))

    def forward(self, x):
        # in lightning, forward defines the prediction/inference actions
        embedding = self.encoder(x)
        return embedding

    def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
        # training_step defines the train loop. It is independent of forward
        x, _ = batch
        x = x.view(x.size(0), -1)
        z = self.encoder(x)
        x_hat = self.decoder(z)
        loss = F.mse_loss(x_hat, x)
        self.log("train_loss", loss)
        return loss

    def configure_optimizers(self):
        optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(self.parameters(), lr=1e-3)
        return optimizer


# -------------------
# Step 2: Define data
# -------------------
dataset = tv.datasets.MNIST(".", download=True, transform=tv.transforms.ToTensor())
train, val = data.random_split(dataset, [55000, 5000])

# -------------------
# Step 3: Train
# -------------------
autoencoder = LitAutoEncoder()
trainer = L.Trainer()
trainer.fit(autoencoder, data.DataLoader(train), data.DataLoader(val))

Run the model on your terminal

pip install torchvision
python main.py

PyTorch Lightning is just organized PyTorch - Lightning disentangles PyTorch code to decouple the science from the engineering.

Explore various types of training possible with PyTorch Lightning. Pretrain and finetune ANY kind of model to perform ANY task like classification, segmentation, summarization and more:

Lightning has over 40+ advanced features designed for professional AI research at scale.

Here are some examples:

Train on 1000s of GPUs without code changes
# 8 GPUs
# no code changes needed
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="gpu", devices=8)

# 256 GPUs
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="gpu", devices=8, num_nodes=32)
Train on other accelerators like TPUs without code changes
# no code changes needed
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="tpu", devices=8)
16-bit precision
# no code changes needed
trainer = Trainer(precision=16)
Experiment managers
from lightning import loggers

# tensorboard
trainer = Trainer(logger=TensorBoardLogger("logs/"))

# weights and biases
trainer = Trainer(logger=loggers.WandbLogger())

# comet
trainer = Trainer(logger=loggers.CometLogger())

# mlflow
trainer = Trainer(logger=loggers.MLFlowLogger())

# neptune
trainer = Trainer(logger=loggers.NeptuneLogger())

# ... and dozens more
Early Stopping
es = EarlyStopping(monitor="val_loss")
trainer = Trainer(callbacks=[es])
Checkpointing
checkpointing = ModelCheckpoint(monitor="val_loss")
trainer = Trainer(callbacks=[checkpointing])
Export to torchscript (JIT) (production use)
# torchscript
autoencoder = LitAutoEncoder()
torch.jit.save(autoencoder.to_torchscript(), "model.pt")
Export to ONNX (production use)
# onnx
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=".onnx", delete=False) as tmpfile:
    autoencoder = LitAutoEncoder()
    input_sample = torch.randn((1, 64))
    autoencoder.to_onnx(tmpfile.name, input_sample, export_params=True)
    os.path.isfile(tmpfile.name)
Advantages over unstructured PyTorch Lightning Fabric: Expert control

Run on any device at any scale with expert-level control over PyTorch training loop and scaling strategy. You can even write your own Trainer.

Fabric is designed for the most complex models like foundation model scaling, LLMs, diffusion, transformers, reinforcement learning, active learning. Of any size.
