Lots of people mention Nx and of course I want to do the same but with a link to a youtube video, in case you wonder what's possible currently. [VIDEO]
If you have not been following the work José and Sean have been doing lately, I recommend you watching José’s talk introducing Elixir Nx [VIDEO]
Although it's early days, José Valim and some other folks are working on adding AI-related capabilities to Elixir and the (Erlang) BEAM. See "Introducing Nx" ( [VIDEO] ) for an intro. Given that they already have a robust Actor model as a base to work from, it occurs to me that they may be able to use some of Ray's ideas as they go along...
