+# Mimimal Viable Deep Learning Infrastructure
+
+Deep learning pipelines are hard to reason about and difficult to code consistently.
+
+Instead of remembering where to put everything and making a different choice for each project, this repository is an attempt to standardize on good defaults.
+
+Think of it like a mini-pytorch lightening, with all the fory internals exposed for extension and modification.
+
+
+## Usage
+
+### Install:
+
+Install the conda requirements:
+
+```bash
+make install
+```
+
+Which is a proxy for calling:
+
+```bash
+conda env updates -n ml_pipeline --file environment.yml
+```
+
+### Run:
+
+Run the code on MNIST with the following command:
+
+```bash
+make run
+```
+
