Is anyone working on "AI Agents" in Elixir?

OpenAI seem to be by far the worst offender. Who thought having o4 and xxx-4o with totally different capabilities was a good idea? Maybe they should have used an LLM to suggest a naming scheme.

Alas, it’s even more absurd than that: they have both an o4-mini and a 4o-mini. Hope none of their customers are dyslexic!

I’ve been following the development of Koog (https://github.com/JetBrains/koog) in the Kotlin ecosystem, and it strikes me as a very sensible approach for building agents. The framework adds several interesting layers that really speed up agent development, such as native support for complex workflows, easy integration with different LLMs (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.), custom tool creation, and efficient management of agent memory and context.

Just sharing this here as a reference—for anyone building this kind of tooling in Elixir, Koog might be an additional source of inspiration.
