Hi :​) Wanted to announce a new package I worked on over the past week I just published, **[floatml](https://github.com/N1ark/floatml)**! It’s a tiny wrapper around Rust’s soft float library ([`rustc_apfloat`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_apfloat)), enabling fast and efficient IEEE-754 `float16`, `float32`, `float64` and `float128` in OCaml. I also made sure the code allocates as little as possible, so it should be reasonably efficient. **Disclaimer:** a good chunk of the code is LLM-authored. I chose the interface I wanted and guided it, but the glue code with Rust is LLM generated (and extensively tested!) I had to create it for [Soteria](https://soteria-tools.com), where we need reductions for concrete float operations, to avoid using Z3 when possible. Maybe you’ll find a use for it too! --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ann-new-package-floatml/18431)._
