- One of the things I hear a lot about using Rust is there's this kind of hesitancy about, you know, well it's a newer language, even though it's been around since 2010, and maybe people are concerned about, you know, can it be used in the real world? Well, I wanted to just spell a few things. First, I'm going to walk you through how to train models with PyTorch and invoke them using GPUs with the Rust PyTorch bindings. And I'm also going to talk a little bit about Firecracker. So what is Firecracker? It is a server-based technology that powers AWS Lambda written by AWS. If I could imagine the biggest possible, you know, server-based execution environment in the world, it's going to be on AWS, right? They are the 800 pound gorilla of cloud computing. And in fact, one of their most popular services is AWS Lambda. And what is it written in, it's written in Rust. And so I think that should dispel this idea that you can't…
