## What is it?
Lightning is a very lightweight wrapper on PyTorch that decouples the science code from the engineering code.
Lightning is a very lightweight wrapper on PyTorch that decouples the science code from the engineering code. It's more of a style-guide than a framework which automates the engineering code.
This means you don't have to learn a new library. To use Lightning, simply refactor your research code into the [LightningModule](https://github.com/williamFalcon/pytorch-lightning#how-do-i-do-use-it) format (the science) and Lightning will automate the rest (the engineering). Lightning guarantees tested, correct, modern best practices for the automated parts.

- If you are a researcher, Lightning is infinitely flexible, you can modify everything down to the way .backward is called or distributed is set up.
- If you are a scientist or production team, lightning is very simple to use with best practice defaults.
