Lightning AI

What Lightning AI is

Lightning AI is an AI development platform from the PyTorch Lightning team. It provides a browser development environment covering prototyping, model training, scaling and deployment, aimed at machine learning engineers, researchers and AI product teams.

What you can do with it

• Develop AI projects in the browser
• Train and scale models
• Deploy an AI service
• Avoid local environment configuration

Who it is for

• ML engineers and researchers
• AI startup teams
• Students and developers wanting cloud GPUs

What to watch out for

• GPU quotas, collaboration features, deployment methods and cost need checking before committing
• Cloud training cost accumulates quickly with large experiments
• Data and model artefacts live on the platform unless you self-manage
• Local dependencies still need managing inside projects
