I have been working in this space for quite a while and while I think the beginning of pytorch lightning meant well, it seems modern use-cases have outgrown it.

I have been working in this space for quite a while and while I think the beginning of pytorch lightning meant well, it seems modern use-cases have outgrown it. These days, when I see content from Lightning AI, I prepare for a contrived approach to doing something that fits within the ecosystem. I can't help but feel they are trying to induce "vendor lock-in" where there really isn't a business case for it... Anyways, I tried to follow these steps and hit a dead-end. I have to say the content put out by huggingface is always way more straightforward and gets me to where I need to be when I want to spin up quickly.
