Deep Learning in Pure Rust with PyTorch Compatibility
Documentation | Examples | Benchmarks | SciRS2 Showcase | Roadmap
ToRSh (Tensor Operations in Rust with Sharding) is a PyTorch-compatible deep learning framework built entirely in Rust. We're building a future where machine learning is:
- Fast by default - Leveraging Rust's zero-cost abstractions
- Safe by design - Eliminating entire classes of runtime errors
- Scientifically complete - Built on the comprehensive SciRS2 ecosystem
- Deployment-ready - Single binary, no Python runtime needed
