Directory of challenges to solve in Rust, for individuals?

help
1

I find coding challenges of the kind of "implement this algorithm" (advent of Rust / LeetCode and such.) But I am not interested on this.

Rather on implementing AI-algorithms or mathematical optimisation algorithms in Rust.

Maybe there is some list of problems that if you solve, you get paid or some prize.

Maybe some places look for PyTorch / etc. then implement in Rust. If it does not involve Rust, it is also not so interesting for me.

Do you know of any such site, besides searching on Reddit or Freelancing Platforms, or just keep-googling?

One interesting one I found is link to Euro 2025 but it is done already, though it may be a good starting point.

And this maybe (didn't explore much yet)? https://www.aicrowd.com/

I've also found this talk related to AI in rust, by burn's creator.

PS: sadly the word AI has a bad reputation now, but I mean deep networks, or traditional machine learning when I say "AI".

If you like math challenges and advanced algorithms, there is Project Euler. HackerRank also has AI and math categories. If you are looking for competitions that offer prizes, maybe look for some local in-person or remote hackathon to join?

I've never done that, although I did work in this field/area. But will search some hackatons.

Thank you!

Below is an activity about writing training cases for Rust AI, in China and get paid with RMB(Chinese ￥)...

activity details

The activity holder says participants can open source their cases and each submitting will get paid up to 200￥(30$). And final additional award up to 20000￥(3000$) will be given according to rank. However, Chinese bank and WeChat accounts are needed.

Due to open source and possible better ai copilot for Rust, it contribute to Rust. And get paid. Mathematical optimisation algorithms in Rust may also get high score.

In my opinion, the salary is not high enough and I never think AI can really write Rust in the future. However, I'm in University and can only make quick money in this way.
