     Info
    Deployed on AWS
    Free Trial
    From the creators of PyTorch Lightning, the most advanced AI platform purpose-built for the Gen AI era. Use pre-built studios to jumpstart any use case. Code, prototype, train, and deploy AI apps, all in one place using the Lightning Studio.

    Overview

    Lightning AI is the most advanced end-to-end platform to build, train, and deploy any model, on your data, in your cloud or data center with the tools you love. Studio integrates your favorite ML tools into a single cohesive experience. It also eliminates the environment discrepancy between local code which runs on the cloud. This allows for seamless multi-node, scalable AI web apps, endpoints and more.

    Environment discrepancies burns weeks of development. Context switching between tools kills productivity. Iterations take hours. Debugging is slow. Laptops don't have a 1,000 GPUs or petabytes of storage. Lightning Studio brings a true paradigm shift to AI development and boosts productivity by 60% or more.

    • Highly intuitive, fully integrated AI platform for data-prep, model development, distributed training, and app deployment consistently governed and available for all your AI needs
    • Pre-built studios (https://lightning.ai/studios ) from our experts and the PyTorch ecosystem to jumpstart AI innovation. Deep learning expertise at your fingertips to unblock any issue
    • Enterprise-grade, secure, and scalable platform to power all your models in your AWS VPC - simple ML to massive LLMs

    Access powerful on-demand compute (A100s/H100s), multi-node training, serverless deployments, and more.

    Highlights

    • Unified: - Start in minutes, not weeks - Scale from CPU to GPU to 100s of machines at the click of a button - One platform across your cloud and on-premises - Collaborate, debug, and deploy from one interface"
    • Open: - Pre-built studios from the app gallery - Battle-tested for SOTA AI (LLMs, Diffusion, GNNs) - Open standards for easy integration with other tools - Extensible, buildable plugins to tailor to your needs
    • Enterprise-grade: - Data never leaves your account with BYOC - SLAs backed by deep learning experts - Fine-grained access control - Private networking

    Best platform to train and deploy the AI models

    Reviewed on Apr 16, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    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.

    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.
