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 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:
Task | Description | Run |
---|---|---|
Hello world | Pretrain - Hello world example | |
Image classification | Finetune - ResNet-34 model to classify images of cars | |
Image segmentation | Finetune - ResNet-50 model to segment images | |
Object detection | Finetune - Faster R-CNN model to detect objects | |
Text classification | Finetune - text classifier (BERT model) | |
Text summarization | Finetune - text summarization (Hugging Face transformer model) | |
Audio generation | Finetune - audio generator (transformer model) | |
LLM finetuning | Finetune - LLM (Meta Llama 3.1 8B) | |
Image generation | Pretrain - Image generator (diffusion model) |

# Step 1: Define a LightningModule

Lightning has over 40+ advanced features designed for professional AI research at scale.
Here are some examples:
# 8 GPUs
# no code changes needed
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="gpu", devices=8)
# 256 GPUs
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="gpu", devices=8, num_nodes=32)
# no code changes needed
trainer = Trainer(accelerator="tpu", devices=8)
# no code changes needed
trainer = Trainer(precision=16)
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
es = EarlyStopping(monitor="val_loss")
trainer = Trainer(callbacks=[es])
checkpointing = ModelCheckpoint(monitor="val_loss")
trainer = Trainer(callbacks=[checkpointing])
# torchscript
autoencoder = LitAutoEncoder()
torch.jit.save(autoencoder.to_torchscript(), "model.pt")
# 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)
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.
