+Bolts
+=====
+`PyTorch Lightning Bolts <https://pytorch-lightning-bolts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_, is our official collection
+of prebuilt models across many research domains.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    pip install pytorch-lightning-bolts
+
+In bolts we have:
+
+- A collection of pretrained state-of-the-art models.
+- A collection of models designed to bootstrap your research.
+- A collection of Callbacks, transforms, full datasets.
+- All models work on CPUs, TPUs, GPUs and 16-bit precision.
+
+-----------------
+
+Quality control
+---------------
+Bolts are built-by the Lightning community and contributed to bolts.
+The lightning team guarantees that contributions are:
+
+- Rigorously Tested (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs)
+- Rigorously Documented
+- Standardized via PyTorch Lightning
+- Optimized for speed
+- Checked for correctness
+
+---------
+
+Example 1: Pretrained, prebuilt models
+--------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from pl_bolts.models import VAE, GPT2, ImageGPT, PixelCNN
+    from pl_bolts.models.self_supervised import AMDIM, CPCV2, SimCLR, MocoV2
+    from pl_bolts.models import LinearRegression, LogisticRegression
+    from pl_bolts.models.gans import GAN
+    from pl_bolts.callbacks import PrintTableMetricsCallback
+    from pl_bolts.datamodules import FashionMNISTDataModule, CIFAR10DataModule, ImagenetDataModule
+
+------------
+
+Example 2: Extend for faster research
+-------------------------------------
+Bolts are contributed with benchmarks and continuous-integration tests. This means
+you can trust the implementations and use them to bootstrap your resarch much faster.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from pl_bolts.models import ImageGPT
+    from pl_bolts.self_supervised import SimCLR
+
+    class VideoGPT(ImageGPT):
+
+        def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
+            x, y = batch
+            x = _shape_input(x)
+
+            logits = self.gpt(x)
+            simclr_features = self.simclr(x)
+
+            # -----------------
+            # do something new with GPT logits + simclr_features
+            # -----------------
+
+            loss = self.criterion(logits.view(-1, logits.size(-1)), x.view(-1).long())
+
+            logs = {"loss": loss}
+            return {"loss": loss, "log": logs}
+
+----------
+
+Example 3: Callbacks
+--------------------
+We also have a collection of callbacks.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from pl_bolts.callbacks import PrintTableMetricsCallback
+    import pytorch_lightning as pl
+
+    trainer = pl.Trainer(callbacks=[PrintTableMetricsCallback()])
+
+    # loss│train_loss│val_loss│epoch

 Best Practices
-==============
+--------------
+The following are best practices when using/designing callbacks.
 
-1. Callbacks should be isolated in their functionality. Your callback should not rely on the 
-behavior of other callbacks in order to work properly.
-2. Do not manually call methods from the callback. The callbacks are designed to be
-invoked at specific times during training. Directly calling methods (eg. `on_validation_end`)
-is strongly discouraged.
-3. Whenever possible, your callbacks should not depend on the order in which they are executed.
