Burn

A deep-learning toolkit for the Rust programming language, for both training and running AI models.

What it does

Burn is a library for building and training neural networks in Rust, a programming language known for speed and safety.

Usually models are trained in one tool and then converted to run in production, which can break things. Its makers say Burn lets the same code do both, on many kinds of hardware, while feeling as flexible as PyTorch.

It is part of a wider set of Rust AI projects for GPU computing, importing models from other formats and ready-made models.
