burn
Burn is a next generation Deep Learning Framework that doesn't compromise on flexibility, efficiency and portability.
I intend to grow this into an open-source project because deep inside, this is ideally how I would like ComfyUI to be. There's still a long journey ahead for building all the custom nodes, which is especially challenging given that the majority of code for AI workflows is written in Python. However, with my hands-on experience with Candle and Burn libraries, I may be able to get pretty close!
