Building Your First Neural Network in Rust with Burn

Most machine learning tutorials start with Python. This one starts with Rust.

In this guide, we explore how to use Burn to build a simple neural network from scratch for binary classification.

You’ll learn:

  • Why Burn is a great choice for Rust-native deep learning
  • How to define model layers with LinearConfig
  • Why init(device) matters in newer Burn versions
  • How forward propagation works with ReLU activation
  • How to prepare for full training with optimizers like Adam and SGD

If you're exploring production-ready ML systems in Rust, this is a great place to begin.
