Claims that going custom beats big-name agents and demonstrates an Elixir ML stack: NX for tensors and autodiff, Axon for neural nets and training, Bumblebee for Hugging Face models, and Livebook plus Phoenix LiveView for deployment. Shows specific backends (EXLA, Torchex, MLX), compiles to CPU/GPU/wasm, and trains a tiny XOR network, serves it with batching and returns correct thresholded outputs. Debugging hooks and a GitHub repo are provided and the demo completes successfully.
