Announcing Burn: New Deep Learning framework with CPU & GPU support using the newly stabilized GAT feature
this is really cool!!! btw i also made a very small toy library years ago in rust too !https://github.com/bilal2vec/L2

Corgi: Rust neural network/dynamic automatic differentiation library I have been working on
this is really cool! i wrote a library a lot like this last year (https://github.com/bilal2vec/L2) and wrote up a very WIP blog post (https://bilal2vec.github.io/blog/rust/2020/08/02/writing-a-machine-learning-library-in-rust.html) about how i made it if y'all are interested ;)
