Episode 178 of Thinking Elixir. In this episode, we revisit the Safe Ecto Migrations guide and get an update on improvements. We also discuss the role and importance of OpenSource AI models. We cover updates in the Elixir LangChain library, the advantages of self-hosted AI models like Mistral, and learning how to run Bumblebee on Fly.io GPUs. Tune in for an insightful blend of database best practices and the cutting-edge of AI in Elixir, plus more!
