Level 2: Explore real component implementations
###############################################
**Audience:** Users who want to deeply understand what is possible with Lightning components.

**Prereqs:** You must have finished :doc:`level 1 <../basic/build_a_lightning_component>`.

***********************
Real component examples
***********************
Use this guide to understand what is happening in each type of component.
These are a few prototypical components. Since each component organizes
Python, you can build virtually infinite components for any use-case
you can think of.

*******************************
Ex: PyTorch + Lightning Trainer
*******************************
This example shows how to train PyTorch with the Lightning trainer on your machine
or cloud GPUs without code changes.

.. lit_tabs::
   :descriptions: import Lightning; We're using a demo LightningModule; Move your training code here (usually your main.py); Pass your component to the multi-node executor (it works on CPU or single GPUs also); Select the number of machines (nodes). Here we choose 4.; Choose from over 15+ machine types. This one has 4 v100 GPUs.; Initialize the App object that executes the component logic.

Ex: Deploy a PyTorch API endpoint
*********************************
This example shows how to deploy PyTorch and create an API

.. lit_tabs::
   :descriptions: Shortcut to list dependencies without a requirements.txt file.; Import one of our serving components (high-performance ones are available on the enterprise tiers); Define the setup function to load your favorite pretrained models and do any kind of pre-processing.; Define the predict function which is called when the endpoint is hit.; Initialize the server and define the type of cloud machine to use.

so you can save on cloud costs.
