    Candle already exists[1], and it runs pretty well. Can use both CUDA and Metal backends (or just plain-old CPU).

    Check out Candle! It's a Deep Learning framework for Rust. You can run LLMs in binaries.
  • Announcing Kalosm - an local first AI meta-framework for Rust
    2 projects | /r/rust | 12 Nov 2023
    Kalosm is a meta-framework for AI written in Rust using candle. Kalosm supports local quantized large language models like Llama, Mistral, Phi-1.5, and Zephyr. It also supports other quantized models like Wuerstchen, Segment Anything, and Whisper. In addition to local models, Kalosm supports remote models like GPT-4 and ada embeddings.
  • RFC: candle-lora
    2 projects | /r/rust | 24 Oct 2023
    I have been working on a machine learning library called candle-lora for Candle. It implementes a technique called LoRA (low rank adaptation), which allows you to reduce a model's trainable parameter count by wrapping and freezing old layers.

  • [P] Open-source project to run locally LLMs in browser, such as Phi-1.5 for fully private inference
    2 projects | /r/MachineLearning | 6 Oct 2023
    We provide full local inference in browser, by using libraries from Hugging Face like transformers.js or candle for WASM inference.
  • Update on the Candle ML framework.
    1 project | /r/rust | 27 Sep 2023
    We've first announced Candle, a minimalist ML framework in Rust 6 weeks ago. Since then we've focused on adding various recent models and improved the framework so as to support the necessary features in an efficient way. You can checkout a gallery of the examples, supported models include:
  • Should I Haskell or OCaml?

    How did you select those two as your options?

    I'm just a hobbyist that enjoys programming, and I eventually wanted to expand beyond python. I looked at Haskell and read Learn You a Haskell and did some Exercism exercises but never got anywhere close to being able to use it for real projects. Have been trying to learn about Lisp lately and feel like I've come to a similar dead end.

    On the other hand, both Go and Rust have felt fulfilling and practical, with static typing and solid tooling, cross compilations, static binaries, and dependency management that is just a huge breath of fresh air coming from python.

    The ML / data science scene is nowhere near as developed as in Python, and I still lean on jupyter/polars/PyTorch here, but I think the candle project[0] seems very interesting. Compiling whisper down to a single CUDA-leveraging binary for fast local transcription is pretty cool!
