Software Engineer @ MGM Security Partners GmbH

I've been writing Rust since 2015 and co-organize the Rust Munich Meetup. By day I work in application security in Munich. Earlier stops include fifteen years in automotive and six years in aerospace. I hold degrees in Engineering Physics and Applied Computer Science from Munich universities. Outside of work I'm into embedded systems (a lasting side effect of my automotive years), retro computing, and game development with Bevy. I occasionally give talks and workshops at meetups and community events around Augsburg and Munich.

Burn. little candle, burn!

November 02 2026 - 11:30 (45 min )

Burn and Candle are two of the most visible ML frameworks in the Rust ecosystem, but they emphasize different trade-offs.

Burn is framework-oriented: pluggable backends via its Backend trait, automatic kernel fusion, async execution, ONNX import, and a full training story complete with a terminal dashboard. Candle is more minimalist: a PyTorch-inspired API from Hugging Face with a strong focus on lightweight inference and serverless deployment, while still supporting training.

LEVEL: Introductory and Overview
