Features
MIND combines a tensor-native language, differentiable programming, and a modern compiler pipeline to give you a unified environment for AI development.
Tensor-native type system
Tensors are first-class types, not just library objects. Define shapes and dtypes in signatures and let the compiler infer the rest.
- Compile-time validation of tensor dimensions
- Shape inference across function boundaries
- Safer refactors: incompatible changes fail at build time
MLIR + LLVM compiler pipeline
MIND lowers to a custom MLIR dialect for graph ops, then to LLVM IR for hardware-specific generation.
- Operator fusion and layout optimization at the MLIR level
- Reuse of LLVM's mature optimization passes
- Support for x86, ARM, RISC‑V, WebAssembly, and more
Built-in automatic differentiation
Mark functions as differentiable and let the compiler generate optimized gradient code at the IR level.
- Source-transformation AD in the compiler pipeline
- Gradients as first-class functions
- Optimizations applied to forward and backward passes
Device semantics in the language
Express where computations should run and get compile-time checks that your program matches device capabilities.
- Device annotations for CPU, GPU, and future accelerators
- Compile-time validation of unsupported ops on targets
- Multi-target builds from a single source codebase
Deterministic builds & safety
The compiler is written in Rust and produces deterministic, reproducible binaries. Fully auditable runtime execution.
- Rust-style memory safety and concurrency guarantees
- Bit-for-bit reproducible builds given the same inputs
- Lean runtime surface area for secure deployments
Open-core, extensible design
The core compiler is Apache 2.0 licensed. Add private backends and runtimes without forking the language.
- Open-source core for community innovation
- Pluggable executors for custom hardware
- FFI hooks for C/C++ and Python interoperability
From Model to Production
MIND goes beyond language features to provide a complete platform for building, deploying, and scaling AI systems.
Distributed Execution
Train and deploy models across multiple nodes with automatic sharding and gradient synchronization.
- Data parallelism with automatic gradient sync
- Model parallelism for large models
- Collective communication (NCCL, Gloo)
Production Deployment
Deploy models to cloud, edge, or on-premise environments with a single command and built-in serving infrastructure.
- Containerized deployment with auto-scaling
- A/B testing and canary deployments
- Edge optimization for IoT devices
Model Versioning
Track model experiments, compare versions, and roll back deployments with integrated versioning.
- Git-like model versioning
- Experiment tracking and comparison
- Reproducible training runs
Observability & Monitoring
Built-in metrics, logging, and tracing for production models with alerting and drift detection.
- Real-time inference metrics
- Data and model drift detection
- OpenTelemetry integration
Data Pipelines
Efficient data loading, transformation, and augmentation pipelines integrated with the type system.
- Streaming data ingestion
- Type-safe transformations
- Parallel data loading
End-to-End Integration
Unified workflow from data preparation through training to production with consistent tooling.
- Unified CLI and API
- CI/CD pipeline integration
- Infrastructure as code
