HuggingFace recently released a compact Rust ML framework called candle, which boasts exceptionally fast performance and supports a variety of powerful models. It offers GPU support and an optimized CPU backend, allowing it to run within browsers. The syntax of candle is similar to PyTorch, making it more familiar and comfortable for users. The framework includes several pre-trained models and examples, such as speech recognition models, general LLMs, and computer vision models. Users can train and optimize models using candle, and build their own machine learning models. Overall, candle is a lightweight Rust ML framework designed for serverless inference, generating lightweight binary files for quick deployment and execution.
