C++ Vs Rust: Which is better for writing AI/ML code with LLMs
We do many conversions of AI models from the reference PyTorch implementation to GGML and C++. The reason is GGML/C++ produces a relatively tiny package we can run almost anywhere. The performance usually matches or exceeds PyTorch with a fraction of the dependencies.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
We do many conversions of AI models from the reference PyTorch implementation to GGML and C++. The reason is GGML/C++ produces a relatively tiny package we can run almost anywhere. The performance usually matches or exceeds PyTorch with a fraction of the dependencies. Personally I despise C++; can’t stand it. I don’t have to write it anymore though, LLMs do it. I sit above a layer of abstraction and only descend into the code to avoid worst case scenarios in much the same way I would randomly go read the code for a library I depended on before AI. Someone asked if we had considered doing these ports in Rust. I am well aware of Rust, got excited about it in the past, but had not seriously considered it because GGML is written in C++.
