Why I moved from Python to Elixir for AI work, and what I found on the other side

Python (and, to a lesser extent, TypeScript) are the default choices for AI/LLM applications. In this post, I break down where Elixir outperforms them and why it matters.

My pain point when working with AI/ML in Python is integrating it into a product—there are too many steps for simple tasks.

In Elixir, it’s much simpler. In the near future, we could bring AI/ML to mobile apps. Mob, a new framework running on the BEAM on mobile, could make this possible, allowing AI/ML to run on-device (and possibly even support basic training, I think).
