What people are saying
I've trained models using Jupyter and Livebook (though only smaller toy models [1]) so I can deposit my 2 cents here. Small disclaimer that I started with Jupyter, so in some…

What Hacker News says
2 sourcesSince you wrote "using something other than Python" and not necessarily only Ruby, definitely look into Livebook and Elixir, and the whole ecosystem around it, including:
- https://github.com/elixir-nx/axon Nx-powered Neural Networks
- https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx Multi-dimensional arrays (tensors) and numerical definitions for Elixir
- https://github.com/elixir-nx/scholar Traditional machine learning on top of Nx
- https://github.com/elixir-nx/bumblebee Pre-trained Neural Network models in Axon (+ Models integration)
- https://github.com/elixir-explorer/explorer Series (one-dimensional) and dataframes (two-dimensional) for fast and elegant data exploration in Elixir
- https://fly.io/blog/rethinking-serverless-with-flame/ (for offloading large work to remote containers)

A talk on the upcoming Elixir conference (https://2024.elixirconf.com/schedule/#schedules) is actually titled "Livebook in the cloud: GPUs and clustered workflows in seconds".
