Last update: Nov 21, 2024

#
Introduction
Lighting.Ai is a cloud platform for using AI apps, powered by virtual machines with powerful GPU's.
It's a great alternative for training RVC voice models through the cloud, since it has the best GPUs with tons of VRAM.
Lighting doesn't have the best GPU hours but it does have the best GPUs out of all the other cloud options.

Pros & Cons
The pros & cons are subjective to your necessities.
- Has good GPU's.
- Has lots of VRAM
- TensorBoard included.
- You can leave training unsupervised.
- Takes some time to set up.
- Needs a phone number.
- Low GPU time depending on what GPU you choose.
- 2-3 Day verification wait time.

How to Setup
#
#
1. Set up Account.
- First make an acount with Lighting Ai
- Make sure you verify yourself with a phone number. Once you've done that you will get an email that looks like this:
You will need to wait 2-3 business days to become fully verified
- Once you are verified Lighting Ai will send you a email that conatins this:

#
2. Notebook and Setup.
- Once you have become verified click this link and it will take you to the Applio notebook. Once you're there click
Open in Studio
Once you're there wait for it to finish duplicating the notebook and installing everything it needs, which will be showen at the top.
After it's all done click on this on the left:
- Once you have clicked that it will take you to a screen which has the install and run cells on it, run the
Install

Using Applio
#
#
1. Open the Gardio link.
- To access Applio's UI click on the link next to
Running on public URL:
, after that it is basically the same as using Applio locally or on other cloud platforms.
#
2. Accessing Files.
- To upload a dataset, upload audio or anything else find the
Teamspace Drive
button on the right and click it.
The path to Applio is Studio > this_studio > Applio > Applio
Once you're there you can just drag and drop files.
To download files click on the file then click the three dots on the right of it and click download
#
3. Opening the Tensor Board.
- Find the Tensor board icon on the right side bar and click it.
- Once you've done that it will open the Tensor board. To learn how to use it go here
#
4. Opening the notebook.
- If you want to go back to the notebook simply click on the
Jupyter
icon on the right.

How to use Better GPUs
#
#
1. Swapping GPUs.
- To swap GPUs go to the GPU icon the the righ and click it.
- Then click on
GPU
and it will show you a list of GPUs you can use by clicking on them and then clicking request.
Here is a list of how long you can use each GPU before running out of hours.
- 22 hours monthly of T4 16gb
- 21 hours monthly of L4 24gb
- 8 hours monthly of A10G 24gb
- 6 hours monthly of L40 48gb
