  1. moonfire-tflite

    Rust wrapper around the TensorFlow Lite C API and edgetpu C API

    A great thing is it's not so complex to use tensorflow/pytorch models in Rust, using FFI (Here is a simple example on GitHub that uses tflite).

  3. m2cgen

    Transform ML models into a native code (Java, C, Python, Go, JavaScript, Visual Basic, C#, R, PowerShell, PHP, Dart, Haskell, Ruby, F#, Rust) with zero dependencies

    Probably, as many frameworks come with a Rust support (or there are wrappers). Some models, like decision tree, can also be automatically translated to plain Rust (in my company we use m2cgen to translate xgboost models to plain rust code).

  4. serde

    Serialization framework for Rust

    serde has support for pickle
