About the Book
Following the same engineering ethos and exploratory learning approach that proved so popular with Northwind Elixir Traders, Elixir Chatbot Alchemy explores the implementation of a chatbot in Elixir. By utilizing the REST API of a self-hosted instance of Ollama and CPU inference on small(-ish) open-weight LLMs, we explore how LLMs operate, the impact of model choice on the quality of inference, and use Phoenix LiveView to build a variety of features, such as document summarization and a chatbot that can be used on a webpage, and an admin UI with reporting of the use of the chatbot.
Note: this is a super-early low-fanfare release, subject to heavy changes of scope and content.
