Architecture Highlights

// Feature-gated modular design
#[cfg(feature = "python")]
pub mod python;

#[cfg(feature = "c-api")]  
pub mod c_api;

Python API Example

import rtx_bindings as rtx

# PyTorch-compatible tensor creation
x = rtx.ones([2, 3], requires_grad=True)
y = rtx.ones([2, 3])

# Natural operations with autograd
z = x * y + x @ y.T
loss = z.sum()

# Gradient computation
loss.backward()
print(x.grad)  # Computed gradients

# Device movement
gpu_tensor = x.cuda()
cpu_tensor = gpu_tensor.cpu()

# NumPy interop
np_array = x.numpy()
tensor_from_np = rtx.from_numpy(np_array)

C API Example

// Type-safe tensor operations
RTXTensor* tensor = NULL;
size_t shape[] = {2, 3};

RTXError result = rtx_zeros(shape, 2, "cpu", &tensor);
if (result == RTXError::Success) {
    // Use tensor...
    rtx_tensor_free(tensor);
}
