  • Gorgonia

    Gorgonia is a library that helps facilitate machine learning in Go.

    CGO? Too much overhead in calling C functions (in which you can wrap libtorch or TF C++ code). And too much struggling woth CUDA (actually all GPU stuff). But, there are interesting attempts: https://github.com/gorgonia/gorgonia (I love it most), https://github.com/sugarme/gotch (bindings to libtorch), https://github.com/nlpodyssey/spago.

  • tensorflow

    An Open Source Machine Learning Framework for Everyone

    Go bindings for Tensorflow were supported by Google for a long time. The documentation for Go, however has since disappeared.

  • tfgo

    Tensorflow + Go, the gopher way

    Paolo Galeone has improved bindings (tfgo) that can be used for training and deployment.

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.
