Hi, Collin

Thanks for the update !
I hope I will be able to contribute to this project soon

Hey everyone! Just an update to this thread: I've pushed a new release which brings Swift 3.1 support and a plethora of other requested changes. This is just part 1 - more great updates coming soon!

See the release for a semi-complete list of changes.

@simonnarang actually, I just created a Slack channel :)

Any progress on this?

Can't wait to contribute as well!

Thanks Colin.

Hello Colin,

Thank you for your efforts.
Any plans on supporting NVIDIA Accelerated libs CUDA, cuDNN, cuBLAS, etc. ?

Thank you!

[collinhundley]

@popaaaandrei, GPU learning on Linux is a high priority for me. Most likely this will mean CUDA, although OpenCL is an option too. If you - or anybody you know - is an expert with those libraries, we'll have to be in touch when the time comes.

[simonnarang]

Maybe we can use gitter.im for now?

A noble quest! I can't wait for the time coming. But I am a ML beginner. Wish I could grow with the new project.
Thanks Colin.

Hey Collin, Please let me know how can I join the slack channel. Thanks, Mohit Garg

@collinhundley 👍 Sweet! To make it easy for people to join, maybe https://github.com/rauchg/slackin would work?

[collinhundley]

@mogarg @simonnarang we'll use Slackin as soon as we have a site running. It'll take some time, but hold tight! Once that's ready I'll open the Slack channel up to the public.

WoW~ Can't wait to contribute x 1024

exciting...

[williamxiewz]

Wow

[ZENTRALALEX]

I can`t wait to see what you will come up with :) Can you imagine when we can have a look at parts of the new project? Also great to see that you want to support Linux. It would be great to be able to use it also in a server project.

Hey if you want to use a pure Swift version of Slackin, check out https://github.com/PerfectServers/SwiftSlack :)

Any news on Linux support? My research project is looking around for ML libraries to do training and inference on an embedded board, i.e. using (ARMV8 multi-core) CPU rather than a GPU, and it seems like yours is the closest thing available.

Hi,

Very much interested in a on-device-learning RNN implementation. Is there any progress being made regarding that? Would love to contribute / stay informed.

Thnx!
