Open Source Rust Deep Learning Frameworks

Luminal is a framework designed to accelerate and simplify the development of systems-level data applications by using a typed, functional, and streaming-first approach. Instead of treating data processing as a series of ad-hoc scripts, Luminal models transformations as strongly typed building blocks that can be composed into reliable, scalable pipelines. The project emphasizes correctness and performance by requiring explicit types for the data flowing through transformations, reducing runtime surprises and allowing for highly optimized execution. It is particularly well-suited for data engineering workflows where large datasets must be processed incrementally, efficiently, and deterministically. The framework also includes a runtime capable of executing pipelines across multiple backends, making it flexible in cloud and local environments.

Pipeless is an open-source computer vision framework to create and deploy applications without the complexity of building and maintaining multimedia pipelines. It ships everything you need to create and deploy efficient computer vision applications that work in real-time in just minutes. Pipeless is inspired by modern serverless technologies. It provides the development experience of serverless frameworks applied to computer vision. You provide some functions that are executed for new video frames and Pipeless takes care of everything else. You can easily use industry-standard models, such as YOLO, or load your custom model in one of the supported inference runtimes. Pipeless ships some of the most popular inference runtimes, such as the ONNX Runtime, allowing you to run inference with high performance on CPU or GPU out-of-the-box. You can deploy your Pipeless application with a single command to edge and IoT devices or the cloud.

Burn is a new comprehensive dynamic Deep Learning Framework built using Rust with extreme flexibility, compute efficiency and portability as its primary goals. Burn emphasizes performance, flexibility, and portability for both training and inference. Developed in Rust, it is designed to empower machine learning engineers and researchers across industry and academia.
