Definitely well beyond the course. It's designed to be the easiest way to create world-class models. I'll be providing a lot more information on how we're doing this in the next week or two.
PS: The focus of fastai is training, not production. The models you end up with are largely standard pytorch models, so standard pytorch approaches to production work fine. For most people, a simple flask endpoint with CPU inference is generally the best approach for this (e.g. all the deep learning web apps at http://allenai.org/ http://allenai.org/ use this approach AFAIK.)
- rishaanpatel 9y agoDo you envision people using the fast.ai library without ever taking the course?
- jph00 9y agoI do, but at the moment the course is the documentation, on the whole - so it won't really be standalone until we're written proper docs! (There's basic docstrings for most functions, but they don't tell you how it all fits together.)
