A small, self-contained C++/CUDA framework for training and querying neural networks, featuring a lightning-fast fully fused MLP and a versatile multiresolution hash encoding. It also provides PyTorch bindings and supports various input encodings, losses, and optimizers.

Use cases

• train tiny MLPs at maximum GPU speed
• implement NeRF-style neural rendering
• use multiresolution hash encoding for fast signal fitting
• accelerate neural network inference in real-time graphics
• integrate fast neural networks into PyTorch pipelines

When to choose

• you need extremely fast training or inference of small MLPs on NVIDIA GPUs
• you are building NeRF or instant-NGP-style neural rendering systems
• you want a lightweight C++/CUDA neural network library with PyTorch bindings

When to avoid

• you need large-scale deep learning models like transformers
• you lack an NVIDIA CUDA-capable GPU
• you need a general-purpose framework with broad ecosystem support like PyTorch or TensorFlow
