You mean on AWS/Azure? Because I have to develop a framework (https://github.com/autumnai/leaf) with it, and there is no way I am going to introduce any more complexity than necessary that early.

What Hacker News says
8 sourcesWe would love to have them and compare their performance with recurrent layers of other frameworks[1]. There exists an issue for the implementation of recurrent layers in Leaf (#73)[2].

379 points · Open discussionThere is Leaf[1], the Hacker's Machine Learning Framework, which has GPU (CUDA, OpenCL) support for Machine Learning in Rust.
James linked to it in the community section of his post, at the end.

In Machine Learning in RustWe're actually growing a rather nice machine learning ecosystem on the Rust side, though obviously it's much less mature than the C/C++ solutions. See https://github.com/autumnai/leaf/blob/063ce978004b8bf4b7fc74... for an example.

5 points · Open discussionAnnouncing Leaf 0.2 – “fastest” Machine Learning Framework
5 points · Open discussionWe are developing the Rust Machine Intelligence Framework Leaf[1] for which we created the portable High-Performance Computation Framework Collenchyma [2], which abstracts over CUDA, OpenCL and commen host CPU. Although we are ready to bring Machine Learning to OpenCL supported devices, the OpenCL ecosystem lacks the fundamental kernels, tooling and library that already exist for the CUDA ecosystem (e.g. cuDNN[3]). But we looking forward to support OpenCL, maybe SPIR-V accelerates the process.
