Blazingly Fast
We believe that the essence of a deep learning framework lies in transforming computation into valuable intelligence, so we've placed performance at the heart of Burn.
What is Burn?
A next generation Deep Learning Framework
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.
Key Features
Burn ships with everything you need to build and train your models
Burn is not just a Rust-based clone of PyTorch or TensorFlow. It embodies a fresh perspective, carefully balancing trade-offs in key areas to enable remarkable flexibility, top-tier performance, and a smooth developer experience.

What for?
Whatever you're up to.
Looking to develop an AI application? Burn enables you to train and deploy your model on mobile devices, browsers, desktops, embedded systems, or large GPU clusters. Engaged in fundamental research? There's no need to master GPU programming to optimize your code; we handle that for you, so you can concentrate on your research.
Spend less time
debugging, more
time building.
Burn adheres to the best practices of the Rust programming language, renowned for its reliability, enhancing development speed and helping you achieve your goals more quickly.
Crafted from scratch using Rust … ?
Burn introduces a unique architecture based on tensor operation streams, fully optimized at runtime and auto-tuned for your hardware by a just-in-time compiler.
This approach relies on Rust's ownership rules to precisely track tensor usage, a feature unattainable without a robust type system. It enables you to create highly dynamic models with the performance of an extensively optimized static graph.
