pytorch-lightning 1.1.0

Model Parallelism Training and More Logging Options

on Python PyPI

Overview

Lightning 1.1 is out! You can now train models with twice the parameters and zero code changes with the new sharded model training! We also have a new plugin for sequential model parallelism, more logging options, and a lot of improvements!
