Light-weight C++ library for Keras

This is a bunch of code to port Keras neural network model into pure C++. - pplonski/keras2cpp

Light-weight C++ library for Keras launched on April 21, 2017 with 10 votes, #868 of 3,007 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

In plain words

This is a lightweight C++ library that enables developers to run Keras models in C++ applications. It allows machine learning models trained in Keras to be deployed and executed efficiently in C++ environments without requiring the full Python framework. The library is designed for developers who need to integrate pre-trained Keras models into production systems or embedded applications where Python may not be practical or available.

    Hi HN, Over the past few months, I've been building `dsc`, a tensor library from scratch in C++/CUDA. My main focus has been on getting the basics right, prioritizing a clean API, simplicity, and clear observability for running small LLMs locally. The key features are: - C++ core with CUDA support written from scratch. - A familiar, PyTorch-like Python API. - Runs real models: it's complete enough to load a model like Qwen from HuggingFace and run inference on both CUDA and CPU with a single line change[1]. - Simple, built-in observability for both Python and C++. Next on the roadmap is…

  • Port of OpenAI's Whisper model in C/C++2022 · github.com · ▲399

    Hi HN, OpenAI recently released a model for automatic speech recognition called Whisper [0]. I decided to reimplement the inference of the model from scratch using C/C++. To achieve this I implemented a minimalistic tensor library in C and ported the high-level architecture of the model in C++. The entire code is less than 8000 lines of code and is contained in just 2 source files without any third-party dependencies. The Github project is here: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp With this implementation I can very easily build and run the model - “make…

  • Compile ML models into dependency-free source code for easy deployment2023 · waveworks.dk · ▲37

    I'm a machine learning engineer who always found it annoying to integrate ML models into phone apps, smartwatch apps, microcontroller firmware etc... Why do we need all these libraries and runtimes with all the overhead, compatibility issues and other headaches, when it's just some math to be executed? So I made a compiler that simply converts the model into plain source code with no dependencies, and it actually solved all my deployment problems. Now I'm curious if it can help anyone else too. Through the link you can submit your model file (Keras h5, onnx soon to be supported), and I'll…
