hanzo-ml 0.11.73

Fast multi-backend tensor & ML framework for Rust (CPU/CUDA/Metal/Vulkan/ROCm) with quantization — the compute core of the Hanzo stack.
Documentation
//! Compute policy — the one place a model decides how its activations flow.
//!
//! `hanzo-ml` departs from candle's "dtype is a runtime property checked (and
//! bailed on) at every op" model. That design makes every binary op a *partial
//! morphism*: defined only when operands agree, otherwise a runtime crash deep in
//! a kernel. A single model forward threads dtype through dozens of ops; one wrong
//! (or missing) cast is a production crash, not a compile error.
//!
//! The fix is categorical: **factor the failure-causing properties (compute dtype,
//! accumulation dtype, KV-cache dtype, device) out of the value and into one
//! threaded context, so the ops a model composes become *total*.**
//!
//! Three structures, each a named concept rather than scattered `to_dtype` calls:
//!
//! 1. [`ComputeCtx`] — the single policy value. The *only* place dtype/device are
//!    decided for a model; every consumer reads it, none re-decides. (A model that
//!    threads `ctx` cannot reproduce the BF16-cache-vs-F32-activation class of bug.)
//!
//! 2. [`ComputeCtx::precise`] — the **upcast ⊣ downcast adjunction**. Precision-
//!    sensitive ops (RMS-norm, RoPE, softmax, MoE gate) are `downcast ∘ op_accum ∘
//!    upcast`. One combinator instead of the same three-line dance hand-rolled at
//!    every call site.
//!
//! 3. [`promote`] / [`promoted`] — the dtype **join-semilattice** (NumPy/JAX-style
//!    promotion). The canonical *minimal* cast for a binary op: lift both operands
//!    to `a ⊔ b`, never a surprise downcast, and never cast the operand that already
//!    sits at the join. This is how you avoid the unnecessary casts.
