On September 7, 2026, the Optuna team introduced a new tool called Rustuna. This is the first high-performance hyperparameter optimization implementation built using the Rust language. While maintaining the same API and conceptual framework as the original Optuna, this tool utilizes Rust’s native memory management mechanisms to significantly reduce resource consumption and eliminate dependencies on Python, thereby effectively mitigating the risk of supply chain attacks.
The Optuna team has released Rustuna, a high-performance, memory-efficient implementation of Optuna built in Rust. This tool maintains the familiar API and concepts of Optuna, without the need for Python dependencies to avoid supply chain attack risks. It also reduces memory usage through native optimizations.
