What is x.max(0.0)? x.max(0.0) returns the maximum value between x and 0.0. It’s Rust’s method for finding the larger of two numbers. ReLU Worked Examples: ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) formula: ReLU(x) = max(0, x) This means: Here are concrete examples: Visual Example: Why ReLU is Powerful: Comparison with Sigmoid: ReLU is like a one-way gate: […]
CANDLE Handles all the heavy mathematical lifting – matrix multiplications, softmax, broadcasting, gradients, and hardware acceleration. Think of it like “NumPy” for AI, for Rust! Candle lets you run ML models entirely inside a Rust program, without Python or a separate service like Ollama. The Magic: When you write something like q.matmul(&k.t())?.softmax(D::Minus1)?, CANDLE automatically: So […]
Sometimes in Rust, we want to tag a type with extra information without actually storing that information at runtime. That’s where phantom types and PhantomData come in. What is PhantomData? PhantomData<T> is a special zero-sized type in Rust that tells the compiler “I want to use this type T in my struct, but I don’t […]
What are they, why do we use them, how are they different to trait bounds? âś… Why you’d need it: You’d use a blanket trait when: 🔍 Tell-tale signs you need one: Without a blanket trait annoying… With a blanket trait Why not just one generic function instead of a trait? That avoids repeating code.But […]
