Impressive work! I'm always amazed at how Rust can boost performance. I'll have to give it a try for my next project.

I definitely agree, Rust is really great for performance-critical applications. I've even seen it used in machine learning applications before, so it's great to see more projects like this one.

One of the other interesting benefits to using Rust here is its built-in safety features, like memory safety and concurrency guarantees. Hopefully, these features could help make machine learning software more reliable.

Yes, Rust is a good choice for applications that demand high performance. I'd be interested in seeing how well it scales with larger data sets, though.

Nice, I'm looking forward to seeing if this can beat the performance of TensorFlow or other frameworks for image classification tasks.

I'm looking to expand my ML toolkit to other languages and frameworks beyond Python and TensorFlow. Rust and this project are definitely strong candidates!

That's awesome, I'd be curious to see if you could train your models with GPUs, and if so, how well that might help performance-wise.

While Rust can provide a significant performance boost, I hope you've considered the tradeoffs in terms of the learning curve and development time.
