gollark: Macron will likely *never* have the ML things I use for this, although you could probably just bind ONNX or something.
gollark: (this is not yet implemented in actual-minoteaur, I just have a prototype)
gollark: The reason Minoteaur v7 needs (or, well, benefits from) GPUs is that it uses machine learning™ algorithms for the search system.
gollark: Consider, though: Minoteaur v6 was written in Nim. Nim has more libraries than Macron will for years, and yet I still felt annoyed by some stuff being missing enough to switch to Python (among other things).
