Sean Moriarity

AI topics are all the rage right now, so we team up with Sean Moriarity to unpack what's going on and what it means for Elixir. Sean talks about Nx and his insights on the timing of Elixir's readiness for the public AI shift. He explains some of the Python frustrations that Elixir can alleviate and he shares tips on putting a PoC ML solution into a production Elixir app. Recently, Sean added LLaMa support to Bumblebee and he explains the background for the OpenSource Meta LLM people have been playing with and more! Turns out there's a lot to be excited about for AI and Elixir!
