No, haven't tried it yet.

I like the simple Python interface though. Should be simple to get the audio to Elixir using Pythonx, I think 🤔

I found Pantheon from your earlier post, and really enjoyed it. Appreciate the book and show reviews/recommendations!

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.

Are you using AI studio? Are you using any tools to feed multiple files to it?

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:

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)

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
