TL;DR with Lightning

Run • Lightning AI • Docs

---

Use TLDR to pre-train or fine-tune a large language model for text summarization, with as many parameters as you want (up to billions!).

You can do this:

• using multiple GPUs
• across multiple machines
• on your own data
• all without any infrastructure hassle!

All handled easily with the Lightning Apps framework.

Run

To run TLDR, paste the following code snippet in a file app.py:

# !pip install git+https://github.com/Lightning-AI/LAI-TLDR-Component git+https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning-LLMs
# !curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Shivanandroy/T5-Finetuning-PyTorch/main/data/news_summary.csv --create-dirs -o ${HOME}/data/summary/news.csv -C -
