✨ Key Features & Strengths

DirectML Acceleration: Optimized for Windows users, providing hardware acceleration across a wide range of GPUs (including AMD and Intel) via DirectML.

ONNX Runtime Support: Leverages the ONNX framework for high-speed inference and broad model compatibility.

Written in Rust: Ensures memory safety and lightning-fast execution compared to traditional Python-based wrappers.

Completely Free & Open Source: Transparent development and accessible to everyone without any cost.

🎯 Why it belongs on OpenModelDB

Rust Upscaler fills a specific niche for users who need a lightweight, non-Python dependent upscaler that runs efficiently on Windows through DirectML. Its focus on performance and modern AI frameworks (ONNX) makes it a perfect fit for the database.
