I am so happy about them releasing this. A few years ago I wrote a multi-task syntax annotator in Rust using Laurent Mazare's excellent Torch binding (tch-rs, it looks like he is also working on Candle): https://github.com/tensordot/syntaxdot https://github.com/tensordot/syntaxdot However, the deployment story was always quite difficult. The PyTorch C++ API is not stable, so a particular version of tch-rs will only work with a particular PyTorch version. So, anyone wanting to use SyntaxDot always had to get exactly the right version of libtorch (and set some environment variables) to build the project. The idea of making an abstraction over Torch and Rust ndarray (similar to Burn) crossed my mind several times, but there is only so much that I could do as a solo developer. So Candle would be a god-given if I was still working on this project. Seeing Candle wants to make me port curated-transformers to Candle for fun: https://github.com/explosion/curated-transformers https://github.com/explosion/curated-transformers
