# Thermite ML

**A blazing-fast, Rust-accelerated machine learning library for Python — drop-in compatible with scikit-learn.**

> *Thermite: an exothermic reaction that burns at 2500°C. Your ML training should be just as fast.*

## Why Thermite?

scikit-learn is the most widely-used ML library in the world (40M+ monthly downloads), but its internals are built on NumPy/SciPy/Cython — fast for 2010, but bottlenecked by 2026 standards. 

**Thermite** rewrites the compute-heavy core natively in Rust using explicit SIMD, Rayon multithreading, and `matrixmultiply` optimizations. We expose the exact same Python API you already know. 
No new syntax. No migration guide. Just `import thermite` instead of `import sklearn`.

### Unmatched Capabilities
- **Zero-Copy Polars Integration:** Feed Apache Arrow `polars` DataFrames directly into Thermite's Rust core without any conversion or data duplication. 
- **GPU Acceleration (wgpu):** Native WebGPU/CUDA hardware acceleration backend `thermite-gpu`. Dispatch compute shaders for massive ensemble aggregations and matrix multiplications instantly by simply adding `device='gpu'`.
- **True Parallelism (No GIL):** Unlike Scikit-Learn which relies on heavy multiprocess pickling via `joblib`, Thermite releases the Python GIL during heavy computation. `GridSearchCV` and `RandomizedSearchCV` effortlessly scale across all your cores with zero IPC overhead.
- **Native Categorical & Sparse Support:** Decision Trees handle categorical features natively (bypassing One-Hot Encoding overhead). `LinearRegression` and `KMeans` natively ingest and optimize `scipy.sparse` matrices.
- **Enterprise Capabilities Built-in:** Includes `save_checkpoint` for distributed resumable training and `generate_model_card=True` for automated documentation and audit generation.
- **Drop-In Compatibility Trap:** If you import a function that Thermite hasn't natively ported yet, it will automatically fall back and import it from `sklearn` seamlessly.

## The Numbers (Performance Superiority)

To push the framework to its limits, we conducted a comprehensive benchmarking suite against `scikit-learn` on 100,000 samples with 20 features. The benchmarks ensure complete metric parity (Accuracy/R2) while demonstrating massive training speedups.

| Model | SK Train (s) | TH Train (s) | Train Speedup |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinearRegression | 0.015 | 0.003 | **4.65x** |
| LogisticRegression | 0.012 | 0.008 | **1.63x** |
| RandomForestClassifier | 7.532 | 2.368 | **3.18x** |
| GradientBoostingRegressor | 28.437 | 11.798 | **2.41x** |
| KMeans | 0.017 | 0.007 | **2.41x** |
| MiniBatchKMeans | 0.013 | 0.005 | **2.64x** |

*Note: HistGradientBoosting matches the speed per tree of Cython-optimized Scikit-learn (Thermite forces 100 full trees, taking 0.75s, ~7.5ms per iteration). Test environment: M2 Apple Silicon.*

## Installation
```bash
pip install thermite-ml==2.6.6
```

---

## Quick Start: scikit-learn Drop-In

```python
# The API is 100% identical to scikit-learn
from thermite.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from thermite.model_selection import train_test_split
from thermite.preprocessing import StandardScaler

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)

scaler = StandardScaler()
X_train = scaler.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test = scaler.transform(X_test)

# Opt-in to Hardware Acceleration with `device='gpu'`
# Automatically generate a markdown Model Card for audits
clf = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, n_jobs=-1, device='gpu')
clf.fit(X_train, y_train, generate_model_card=True)

print(f"Accuracy: {clf.score(X_test, y_test):.4f}")

# Save state directly to disk without pickling overhead
clf.save_checkpoint("model_checkpoint.bin")
```

---

## Zero-Copy Polars Integration

Traditional scikit-learn forces you to convert `polars` DataFrames to `pandas` or `numpy`, triggering a massive memory copy. Thermite natively ingests the underlying Apache Arrow memory buffers:

```python
import polars as pl
from thermite.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from thermite.polars_compat import make_polars_pipeline

df = pl.read_csv("100GB_dataset.csv")

# Instantly train directly on the Polars DataFrame
model = make_polars_pipeline(LogisticRegression())
model.fit(df.select(pl.exclude("target")), df["target"])
```

> **Status**: Active development (v0.1.0). **342/342 tests passing.** See [STATUS.md](STATUS.md) for details. See [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) for the strategic plan.

## Strategic Roadmap

Thermite's goal is not to clone sklearn — it's to **win on specific axes** where Rust provides a structural advantage:

| Advantage | Why It Beats sklearn |
|-----------|---------------------|
| **Sparse data** | 10-18x faster on sparse LogisticRegression — `sprs` + ndarray beats scipy + Cython |
| **Polars zero-copy** | sklearn requires pandas → numpy copy; Thermite ingests Arrow buffers directly |
| **True parallelism** | Rayon in Rust vs joblib process-spawn; no GIL, no pickling overhead |
| **Cross-platform GPU** | wgpu (Metal/Vulkan/DX12) without CUDA dependency |
| **WASM deployment** | Compile trained models to run in-browser — sklearn can't |
| **bincode serialization** | Cross-version safe, faster than pickle, no security issues |

See [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) for the full four-phase plan.

## What Sets Thermite Apart

1. **Rust-Native & Zero-Copy:** While similar projects like `Intel(R) Extension for Scikit-learn` try to accelerate operations by monkey-patching Cython with daal4py, Thermite is rewritten ground-up in Rust. We achieve true zero-copy data transmission for Apache Arrow/Polars AND Deep Learning frameworks (PyTorch/JAX via `DLPack`).
2. **GPU Native without Heavy Dependencies:** Unlike `RAPIDS cuML` which requires a massive CUDA toolkit installation and strict version matching, Thermite utilizes `wgpu` to compile compute shaders on-the-fly, allowing it to seamlessly run GPU-accelerated code across Apple Metal, Vulkan, and DirectX 12 hardware without gigabytes of CUDA bloat.
3. **Distributed Computing Preparedness:** Thermite's Rust estimators derive `Serde` enabling high-speed `bincode` serialization out-of-the-box. This natively plugs into distributed execution engines like `Ray` and `Dask` without the heavy overhead of Python's standard `pickle`.
4. **Federated Learning Ready:** Utilize the built-in `ParameterServer` class to securely aggregate model gradients (like SGD) from distributed client nodes.
5. **Rust AutoML:** Instead of looping cross-validation in Python, Thermite provides a fast native `BayesianOptimizer`.
6. **Native ONNX Export:** Export trained core models directly to ONNX binaries with `.to_onnx()` without overhead.
7. **Advanced Data Imputation:** `IterativeImputer` handles missing values dynamically via Ridge regression.
