A python library for self-supervised learning and latent world models on images.
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does

What it does
- Modular framework, which exposes low-level building blocks such as loss functions and
- Easy to use and written in a PyTorch-like style.
- Supports custom backbone models for self-supervised pre-training.
- Support for distributed training using PyTorch Lightning.
