🎯 Why relux?

Relux bridges the gap between Go's enterprise readiness and machine learning capabilities, delivering production-grade neural networks without the complexity of Python ecosystems or the overhead of external dependencies.

// Deploy a GPU-accelerated neural network in production
net, _ := relux.NewNetwork(
    relux.WithConfig(relux.ClassificationMLP(4, 3, "small")),
    relux.WithAcceleration("auto"), // Automatically leverages rnxa when available
)
net.Fit(X, Y,
    relux.Epochs(1000),
    relux.LearningRate(0.001),
    relux.EarlyStopping(50),
)
predictions, _ := net.PredictBatch(testData)

Enterprise Performance Metrics

Operation	Pure Go	relux + rnxa	Enterprise Impact
Model Training	100ms	18ms	5.6× faster iteration cycles
Batch Inference (1k samples)	2.1s	80ms	26× higher throughput
Production Deployment	Single binary	Single binary	Zero dependency conflicts
Memory Footprint	< 3MB	< 3MB + GPU buffers	Minimal resource consumption

⚡ Hardware Acceleration with rnxa

The rnxa acceleration engine provides seamless GPU acceleration for production workloads, automatically falling back to pure Go when hardware acceleration is unavailable.

Platform Support Matrix

✅ Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3+) – Metal Performance Shaders via rnxa (Production Ready)
🚧 Linux CUDA – Planned Q1 2026 via rnxa
🚧 Windows DirectML – Planned Q3 2026 via rnxa
✅ Universal Fallback – Pure Go implementation on all platforms.

Automatic Backend Selection

// relux automatically detects and uses the best available backend
net, _ := relux.NewNetwork(
    relux.WithConfig(config),
    relux.WithAcceleration("auto"), // Recommended: smart selection
)

// Check what backend is being used
benchmark := net.Benchmark()
fmt.Printf("Backend: %s\n", benchmark.BackendInfo)
// Output: "rnxa (Metal: Apple M2 Pro)" or "Pure Go (Native)"

Performance Comparison

// Compare different backends
func compareBenchmarks() {
    backends := []string{"native", "rnxa", "auto"}
    
    for _, backend := range backends {
        net, _ := relux.NewNetwork(
            relux.WithConfig(config),
            relux.WithAcceleration(backend),
        )
        
        benchmark := net.Benchmark()
        fmt.Printf("%s: %v (%.1f ops/sec)\n", 
                   backend, benchmark.Duration, benchmark.Throughput)
    }
}

// Output:
// native: 3.2ms (312.5 ops/sec) - Pure Go (Native)
// rnxa: 156µs (6410.3 ops/sec) - rnxa (Metal: Apple M2 Pro)  
// auto: 156µs (6410.3 ops/sec) - rnxa (Metal: Apple M2 Pro)

func main() {
    // XOR dataset
    X := [][]float64{{0, 0}, {0, 1}, {1, 0}, {1, 1}}
    Y := [][]float64{{0}, {1}, {1}, {0}}

    // Create network with hardware acceleration
    net, _ := relux.NewNetwork(
        relux.WithConfig(relux.Config{
            Inputs: []relux.InputSpec{{Size: 2}},
            Hidden: []relux.LayerSpec{{Units: 8, Act: "tanh"}},
            Output: relux.LayerSpec{Units: 1, Act: "sigmoid"},
            Loss:   "bce",
        }),
        relux.WithAcceleration("auto"), // Enable rnxa if available
        relux.WithSeed(42),
    )

    // Train the network
    net.Fit(X, Y,
        relux.Epochs(5000),
        relux.LearningRate(0.3),
        relux.Verbose(true),
