pytorch-lightning VS pytorch-image-models

It's very easy to get started, right in your Terminal, no fees! No credit card at all.

And there are cloud providers like https://replicate.com/ and https://lightning.ai/ that will let you use your LLM via an API key just like you did with OpenAI if you need that.

You don't need OpenAI - nobody does.

I've been wondering on what is the recommended method of saving logits/activations using PyTorch Lightning. I've looked at Callbacks, Loggers and ModelHooks but none of the use-cases seem to be for this kind of activity (even if I were to create my own custom variants of each utility). The ModelCheckpoint Callback in its utility makes me feel like custom Callbacks would be the way to go but I'm not quite sure. This closed GitHub issue does address my issue to some extent.

Our codebase for the diffusion models builds heavily on OpenAI's ADM codebase , lucidrains, Stable Diffusion, Lightning and Hugging Face. Thanks for open-sourcing!

For lightweight use, pytorch-lightning is too heavy, and its source code will be very difficult for beginners to read, at least for me.

For the A100 GPU, theoretical performance is the same for FP16/BF16 and both rely on the same number of bits, meaning memory should be the same. However since it's quite newly added to PyTorch, performance seems to still be dependent on underlying operators used (pytorch lightning debugging in progress here).

I am a PyTorch user I work in CV, I usually use the PyTorch models. However, I see people use timm in research papers to train their models I don't understand what it is timm is it a new framework like PyTorch? Further, when I click https://pypi.org/project/timm/ homepage it takes me to hugging face GitHub https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models is there any connection between timm and hugging face many of my friends use hugging face but I also don't know about hugging face I use simple PyTorch and torchvision.models.

additionally, you might find the timm library handy for this sort of work.

This is still being pursued. Ross Wightmann's timm[0,1] package (now on Hugging Face) has done a lot of this. There's also a V2 of ConvNext[2]. Ross does write about this a lot on Twitter fwiw. I should also mention that there are still many transformer based networks that still beat convs. So there probably won't be a resurgence in convs until someone can show that there's a really strong reason for them. They have some advantages but they also might not be flexible enough for the long range tasks in segmentation and detection. But maybe they are.

FAIR definitely did great work with ConvNext, and I do hope to see more. There always needs to be people pushing unpopular paradigms.

I am doing Binary classification with a pre-trained EfficientNet tf_efficientnet_l2. I froze all weights during training and replaced the classifier with a custom trainable one that looks like:

In this post, I’m going to show you how you can pick from over 900+ SOTA models on TIMM, train them using best practices with Fastai, and deploy them on Android using Flutter.

The other thing is, try to find tricks to speed up your experiments (if not having done so already). The most obvious are mixed precision training, have your model train on a lower resolution input first and then increase the resolution later in the training, stochastic depth, and a bunch more stuffs. Look for implementations in https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models .
