Best for

  • Implementing distributed training for large vision transformers across multiple GPUs using DDP or FSDP
  • Setting up experiment tracking and hyperparameter logging for deep learning research workflows
  • Converting existing PyTorch training scripts to Lightning modules with proper checkpoint management
  • Debugging convergence issues in multi-GPU training pipelines with mixed precision
  • Deploying trained Lightning models to production with proper versioning and rollback capabilities

What you'll get

  • Complete LightningModule class with proper forward(), training_step(), configure_optimizers() methods, plus Trainer setup with distributed strategy configuration
  • LightningDataModule implementation with prepare_data(), setup(), and dataloader methods optimized for multi-GPU training
  • Comprehensive callback configuration including ModelCheckpoint, EarlyStopping, and custom logging callbacks with proper metric tracking
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Basic PyTorch model architecture design without training infrastructure
  • ×Data preprocessing and feature engineering outside of Lightning DataModules
  • ×Model serving and inference optimization in production environments
  • ×Classical machine learning workflows that don't require deep learning frameworks
Expects

A deep learning training problem with model architecture requirements, dataset characteristics, hardware constraints, and specific training objectives like distributed scaling or experiment reproducibility.

Returns

Complete Lightning training pipeline with structured LightningModule, DataModule, Trainer configuration, callback setup, and deployment-ready code with logging and checkpointing.
