  • ortex

    ONNX Runtime bindings for Elixir

  • bumblebee

    Pre-trained Neural Network models in Axon (+ 🤗 Models integration) (by elixir-nx)

  • Despite some limitations, you will probably find Bumblebee (https://github.com/elixir-nx/bumblebee) interesting.

    "Bumblebee provides pre-trained Neural Network models on top of Axon. It includes integration with HuggingFace Models, allowing anyone to download and perform Machine Learning tasks with few lines of code"

  • instructor_ex

    Structured outputs for LLMs in Elixir

  • Yes, this is getting quite exciting. There is cross-pollinisation of concepts going on (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RABXu7zqnT0 which shows a port of Python's Instructor library to https://github.com/thmsmlr/instructor_ex, https://hexdocs.pm/scholar/Scholar.html etc!).

    That coupled with LiveView + (quite easy scaling in general) results into interesting opportunities.

  • hammer

    An Elixir rate-limiter with pluggable backends

  • The scaling story in Elixir is so nice, I just implemented eventual consistency for calculating average ratings on a Class/Instructor level and it was 20 lines of code in a GenServer that can be tested and is super clear how it works. I'm not even sure how you'd do something like this in Javascript or Python but it would probably involve extra infrastructure that is another moving piece to deploy, manage and can cause failures. The same is true with rate limiting and something like Hammer (https://github.com/ExHammer/hammer).
