    I don’t think the Twitter Elixir crowd is going anywhere. :) As an Elixir shitposter, I get a significantly better engagement there than on Bsky, even if I already have twice as many followers on Bsky.

      Personally, Twitter seems to have gotten quieter and I see more happening in Bsky. I suppose it probably a side-effect of having used some starter packs in Bsky that changed who I follow. I'm in both right now.

    Just to clarify (as I understand it), not Elixir is self healing, but Erlang BEAM is self healing, Elixir is one of the wrappers around that, you can use any of them.

    • @petrolidas
      @petrolidas 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Elixir is not exactly a wrapper. It's targeting the BEAM. Meaning, you write Elixir, you compile it and it generates BEAM bytecode that is executed directly on the BEAM VM. Thus, it takes advantage of any feature the BEAM offers just like any other language that targets it.

    @Mark, perhaps is has been suggested already, but I think there's quite of interest in the community for resources about using LLMs via Elixir, e.g. RAG, Agentic systems, etc. since you're already investing time in that area, have you considered writing a book about it?

    When developing it, how do you test your Agent functions, and how would you be sure that the LLM consistently uses the correct function if theres a lot of functions and stuff like that? I especially have no grasp on what triggers the LLM to execute the update_current_user function?! This all seems so magicy, and the code feels so incomplete, yet its honestly really amazing and feels really beyond its time in capabilities! Is it also really enough with just the activity/function descriptions for the LLM to understand that it can execute whatever is written in that description? Damn these LLM's are so crazy... What a time to be alive Edit: Just for thought, so I could for example add a "Workout Videos" or "Secret Workout Techniques" model, make a LangChain function called "get_secret_workout_techniques" and "get_workout_video", and it would just magically know to reach for both whenever it "feels" like its necessary?

    • @brainlid
      @brainlid ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, given a function's name, description, and arguments, the LLM will decide if and when to call it. What's interesting about this, is we provide guidance to the LLM and give it a goal to work towards. We are then outsourcing business logic to the LLM for deciding what information is relevant and what functions are appropriate. As for having lots of functions, that could be a problem. They count towards your token usage and limit as well. > When developing it, how do you test your Agent functions, and how would you be sure that the LLM consistently uses the correct function if theres a lot of functions and stuff like that? I interactively use the Agent with the LLM while developing it. You can't be sure the LLM will consistently use the correct function. While developing it, I'd observe what it would do then tweak the function description to better guide it in on how the function could or should be used. Also, the errors messages from your functions should provide information to the LLM about what went wrong. It will often try again after adjusting the input. And yes, it's crazy to see it work. :D
