Will Falcon — Making Lightning the Apple of ML
Will Falcon is the CEO and co-founder of Lightning AI, a platform that enables users to quickly build and publish ML models.
In this episode, Will explains how Lightning addresses the challenges of a fragmented AI ecosystem and reveals which framework PyTorch Lightning was originally built upon (hint: not PyTorch!) He also shares lessons he took from his experience serving in the military and offers a recommendation to veterans who want to work in tech.
