Solving AI/ML Infrastructure Bottlenecks

What do you like best about the product?

I used the Lightning AI for finetuning one of the LLM models on the client data for a chatbot use case, the setting up of the virtual environment and installation is very easy and they have maintained proper documentation for this. And also deploying the models on their cloud and setting auto-scaling requires no coding.

What do you dislike about the product?

One issue I felt was that their customer support or community was very slow, I was facing some version issue, and when I asked them I got a reply after 4 days. The platform crashes often when kept for long training hours.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It really helps to save my time, Instead of buying a GPU machine and writing the fine-tuning script from scratch including intallization the Lightning AI has many templates for fine-tuning and also for RAG applications in which all the code and models weight are already seted up. I used the already present fine-tuning script and tranied the model and also tested it there itself this all happens in few hours which really saves time.

What do you like best about the product?

i used lightning ai to build ai apps within the cloud ,used vs code,and other lot of ml related tools and softwares with in the web.,like jupyter notebook,easy to setup,i had run big big llms seamlessly without any hassle .

What do you dislike about the product?

there are some times where the configured studios were not opening after setup,again i have to reconfigure them again .

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

i used this particularly to overcome the burden of running large language models(llms) locally.it is very easy to setup a studio of 16gb vram of 4cpus and 1 Gpu.made my ml learning journey very effective and productive.its basically all your vs code,jupityer notebooks running all together within your private cloud.
