You can easily build a standalone binary (well, it would be GiB+ if you use CUDA... but that's the cost of statically linking cu*), had you coded your model and training loop in C++.

It then happily runs everywhere as long as a NVIDIA GPU driver is available (don't need to install CUDA).

Protip: Your AI research team REALLY DON'T WANT TO DO THIS BECAUSE THEY LOVE PYTHON. Having Python, even with the dependency management shit, is a feature, not a bug.

(if you want Rust / Go and don't want to wrapping libtorch/tf then you have a lot of work to do but yeah it's possible. also there are model compiler guys [1] where the promise is model.py in model.o out you just link it with your code)
