Attending this later today. Anyone else I know going?

Great presentations and conversation at the Elixir Berlin Meetup today 1/ Lukas talked about his big bag of Postgres tricks and techniques #elixirlang

I've just released Handoff, a new Elixir library for distributed function graph execution. hexdocs.pm/handoff Among other things, the library enables distributed Nx computations (anyone said distributed inference?) A huge part of this was sponsored by tvlabs.ai!

Introducing Tidewave: tidewave.ai While working on our web apps, we run code, query the database, read logs, search docs… but our AI tools are limited to reading code. Tidewave closes this gap by introducing Runtime Intelligence, for Phoenix and Rails. More coming soon, check out the website!

Demo: Making phone calls from Elixir I'm working on a Twilio plugin for the Membrane multimedia framework. The demo shows an outbound call, but receiving calls works too. #ElixirLang www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dhl...

Testing Voice AI flows can become tedious fast But... you can just simulate conversations using another voice agent. Then, evaluate how the conversation went.

Got a small, standalone Python script working to use the new OpenAI transcription models(`gpt-4o-transcribe` and `gpt-4o-mini-transcribe`) using the Realtime WebSocket connection: samrat.me/standalone-o...

OpenAI's new TTS looks(and sounds) pretty great for the price. Also, I hope this pushes other providers to just price API usage by minute. Every other TTS provider(ElevenLabs, Cartesia, etc) currently have monthly credits pricing.

Phoenix now comes with DaisyUI. Looks like a great addition for non-designers(like me) #ElixirLang

New #ElixirLang tool LivebookTools lets you work on Livebook in your own editor and opens MCP access to cell outputs(so Cursor, etc) can automatically iterate on the code if the cell has errors github.com/thmsmlr/live...

What does talk-prep look like? Bug-fixin' mostly @samrat.me darling, you have a PR :D github.com/samrat/kokor...

Pushed my first @replicate.com model, SmolVLM2 by @hf.co (@pcuenq.hf.co et al.) Will push the 500M and 2.2B models soon as well.

Voice models are getting scary good. This one feels very human: www.sesame.com/research/cro...

At Sesame, our goal is to achieve “voice presence”—the magical quality that makes spoken interactions feel real, understood, and valued.

I wrote up a post on how you can run AI models on Elixir that aren't yet supported by Bumblebee samrat.me/running-ml-m... #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang

Wow, this looks super useful for running models that aren't yet supported in Bumblebee(among other things) #ElixirLang github.com/livebook-dev...

Holy smokes this is awesome, a new debugger for Phoenix LiveView. Think React devtools, but not a chrome extension. github.com/software-man... #ElixirLang

We did it! Kokoro TTS (v1.0) can now run 100% locally in your browser w/ WebGPU acceleration. Real-time text-to-speech without a server. ⚡️ Generate 10 seconds of speech in ~1 second for $0. What will you build? 🔥

Interested in how to build voice AI apps in Elixir? Here's a blog post I wrote about building a Membrane pipeline that orchestrates audio/video communication between a browser and Google Gemini #ElixirLang blog.swmansion.com/building-a-m...

Building a Membrane Pipeline to Talk to Google Gemini

Elixir, together with the Membrane framework, is great for building pipelines that enable seamless communication between users and LLMs.

Had some fun generating speech using the Elixir Kokoro implementation by @samrat.me. Made a script for typing stuff and getting the talky-talk. github.com/samrat/kokor... So a bit of ONNX, some Erlang Ports, Membrane :D #elixirlang

Reworking the Livebook for Kokoro(🔊 text-to-speech model). Now, you get a text input to input text you want read out loud(or whispered) to you. #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang

Writing up a blog post about this. Not sure how much of it should be an introduction to Membrane. #ElixirLang

Posted on HN. Feel like sharing here as well.

I've been building a small voice AI app. So far, both OpenAI Realtime and Gemini Multimodal Live seem very unreliable with function calling. And Gemini insists that it did the function call😅

Last month, I spent 2 weeks in China - I visited Beijing, Chengdu, Emeishan, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou.

Trying to add interruption support to github.com/membranefram... (the API already returns events for when it detects it got interrupted, but I'm having trouble stopping playback 🤔) Currently trying to wrap my head around Membrane's manual demand mode. #ElixirLang
