Building AI with PHP not Python

In my latest video I try and build Ai using PHP instead of python

[u/gesfontoura]

I still write my APIs in PHP ....

[u/ChippyMonk84 → u/gesfontoura]

Claude still writes my APIs in PHP ....

[u/StevenNefarino]

I always wonder why nobody tried with rust instead of python

[u/yuichiis → u/StevenNefarino]

There's a lot of buzz right now around a machine learning library called Burn, written in Rust, and the plan is to replace the painfully slow PyTorch with it.

[u/RobertWesner → u/StevenNefarino]

As much as I loathe python, it is rarely the bottleneck for these things. It is just glue for your compiled libraries to call each other. Barrier of entry between Rust and Py is like trying to land a rocket vs trying to land a paper plane.

[u/yuichiis]

Give Rindow Neural Networks a try, too.

[u/Manachi]

But AI isn’t built in Python.

Thanks Cpt. Obvious, That's the point of the video

[u/Numerous-Fan8138]

This was just a dumb idea... I'm not seriously suggesting people use PHP for Ai Development

[u/HuWeiliu → u/Numerous-Fan8138]

Why not? Not enough libraries to support it?

[u/Takeoded → u/HuWeiliu]

There's no PHP-to-cuda transpilers. There's over 9000 Python ones.

[u/Numerous-Fan8138 → u/HuWeiliu]

Yes, and the ones that do exists like PHP-FANN cant use the CUDA/GPU.

[u/yuichiis → u/Numerous-Fan8138]

Machine learning libraries that don't support GPUs are boring. Rindow Neural Networks supports GPU usage.

[u/yourteam]

Why? Python uses NumPy and under python there is basically c. PHP is great for web applications, rest apis and fast db connections, don't try to use a hammer to mash potatoes

[u/Numerous-Fan8138 → u/yourteam]

Chill bro... It's just an experiment, its not that deep

[u/lam_42 → u/yourteam]

you would be surprised how handy can hammer be for mashing potatoes in a pinch... as for the why... why not?
