# Deep Lake Docs

## Activeloop Deep Lake - Data Lake for Deep Learning

### Why Use Deep Lake?

* **Store images, audios, videos, and their annotations together in a data format built for AI. Save your data locally, in your cloud, or on Activeloop storage.**
* **Rapidly train PyTorch and TensorFlow models while streaming data with no boilerplate code.**
* **Run version control, dataset queries, and distributed workloads using a simple Python API.**

Deep Lake stores data in a format optimized for access patterns used in Deep Learning applications, and data can be stored anywhere and accessed through a simple and intuitive API.
