mlx-rs 0.34.0

Unofficial rust wrapper for Apple's mlx machine learning library.
//! Function transforms
//!
//! This mod provides functions for automatic differentiation and other
//! transformations on functions.
//!
//! **WARN**: Because function transforms including compilation works on
//! the computation graph, the user must ensure that all `Array`s are passed
//! as inputs to the function/closure. Closures with captured `Array`s may
//! not work as expected and may lead to undefined behavior.
//!
//! # Automatic Differentiation
//!
//! Automatic differentiation in MLX works on functions rather than on implicit
//! graphs.
//!
//! **NOTE**: If you are coming to MLX from PyTorch, you no longer need
//! functions like backward, zero_grad, and detach, or properties like
//! requires_grad.
//!
//! You can use the [`grad()`] and [`value_and_grad()`] function to compute
//! gradients of more complex functions. These functions compute the gradient
//! with respect to the first argument, in order to manually specify the the
//! argument to compute the gradient with respect to, use
//! [`grad_with_argnums()`] or [`value_and_grad_with_argnums()`].
//!
//! # Panics
//!
//! A panic in a Rust transform closure is caught before it reaches MLX. After MLX returns through
//! the C ABI, the panic resumes in Rust with its original payload.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use mlx_rs::{Array, error::Result, transforms::grad};
//!
//! fn f(x: &Array) -> Result<Array> {
//!     x.square()
//! }
//!
//! fn calculate_grad(func: impl Fn(&Array) -> Result<Array>, arg: &Array) -> Result<Array> {
//!     grad(func)(arg)
//! }
//!
//! let x = Array::from(1.5);
//!
//! let dfdx = calculate_grad(f, &x).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(dfdx.item_exact::<f32>(), 2.0 * 1.5);
//!
//! let dfdx2 = calculate_grad(|args| calculate_grad(f, args), &x).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(dfdx2.item_exact::<f32>(), 2.0);
//! ```
