...which I never caught because none of the models I tried were supported! :(

This PR adds runtimes other than the ONNX Runtime.
There are plenty of alternative ONNX inference engines for Rust that each provide their own unique qualities:
candle
boasts impressive performance and GPU acceleration.tract
is a battle-tested pure-Rust inference engine with excellent operator support.wonnx
focuses on broader GPU support is designed for the web.With the removal of
wasm32-unknown-unknown
support from ort, and the Sisyphean task of getting the damn thing to link, it's clear that ONNX Runtime isn't always the best choice. Most often, though, it is the best choice for one platform, but not another. Applications wishing to target CUDA on desktop and WebGPU on web would need to have 2 different code paths usingort
andwonnx
. Adding support forwonnx
& others directly inort
would mean that developers only need to use theort
API to target both backends, and only a single line of code is required to switch between them, e.g.ort::set_api(ort_candle::api());
Status
