RustGPT: A pure-Rust transformer LLM built from scratch

As someone who has spent days wrestling with Python dependency hell just to get a model running, a simple cargo run feels like a dream. But I'm wondering, what was the most painful part of NOT having a framework? I'm betting my coffee money it was debugging the backpropagation logic.

Have you tried uv [1]? It has removed 90% of the pain of running python projects for me.

uv is great, but I think the real fix is just abandoning Python.

The culture that language maintains is rather hostile to maintainable development, easier to just switch to Rust and just write better code by default.

There's not really another game in town if you want to do fast ML development :/
