What It Does
- +Deep probabilistic modeling integrating complex PyTorch neural networks directly into Bayesian priors and likelihoods
- +Stochastic Variational Inference (SVI) with automated and custom variational guides
- +Markov Chain Monte Carlo (NUTS, HMC) on CPU and GPU
- +Non-linear latent variable models including VAEs, normalizing flows, and Gaussian processes
What It Does Not Do
- -Natively deploy to WebAssembly browser runtimes
- -Execute classical econometrics faster than statsmodels
- -Serve high-throughput HTTP endpoints out of the box
>Suitable Work Types
- Deep generative modeling (Variational Autoencoders, disentangled representations)
- Single-cell genomics and biological RNA sequence latent space analysis
- Combining deep neural vision encoders with Bayesian structural priors
>Unsuitable Work Types
- Simple single-table A/B test analysis where lightweight PyMC or statsmodels is simpler
- Sub-millisecond high-frequency trading applications
Data Residency Implications
Executes locally in PyTorch GPU memory. Zero cloud data leaks.
