nx

He has been teasing this for a couple of months now. This cryptic twitter post[1] would suggets something related to nx[2] as numbat is their logo and that is the alt text on that tweet. The most out of the box thing I can think of is that one of the image generative models has been ported to elixir. That would be insane! That numbat twitter image is suspiciously 512x512.

Thank you for sharing, this was a great article! I had to implement autodiff from scratch for Nx (https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx) about 18 months ago and this would have helped me so much! I spent roughly a month chasing a bug because I was not handling the case of duplicated incoming nodes and you outline it very clearly. I will be recommending the article from now on to anyone who needs to understand how autodiff works.

It uses [Nx](https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx/tree/main/nx#readme) (think of it as an equivalent to numpy/jax) which uses Google XLA's as one of the possible backends to compile and run on the GPU.

Most people who want this end up just selecting a regular programming language with a powerful-enough macro system + flexible-enough compile-time parser; and then using said language to define a "more or less complete DSL", by redefining all the primitive syntax features of the language to instead be primitive syntax features of the DSL. For example, the "numerical definition" DSL within Elixir's Nx library (https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx/tree/main/nx#numerical-defin...). Users using this "full" DSL are still using the host language — they're invoking its compiler/runtime and so forth — but they don't necessarily need to care about that. They can still technically access the power of a full-blown programming language, "tucked in" around the edges of the DSL — but you as the DSL's creator, don't have to document that power as being availa
