Mark Ericksen, creator of the Elixir LangChain framework, joins the Elixir Wizards to talk about LLM integration in Elixir apps. He explains how LangChain abstracts away the quirks of different AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini) so you can work with any LLM in one more consistent API. We dig into core features like conversation chaining, tool execution, automatic retries, and production-grade fallback strategies. Mark shares his experiences maintaining LangChain in a fast-moving AI world: how it shields developers from API drift, manages token budgets, and handles rate limits and outages. He also reveals testing tactics for non-deterministic AI outputs, configuration tips for custom authentication, and the highlights of the new v0.4 release, including “content parts” support for thinking-style models. Key topics discussed in this episode: • Abstracting LLM APIs behind a unified Elixir interface • Building and managing conversation chains across multiple models • Exposing application functionality to LLMs through tool integrations • Automatic retries and fallback chains for production resilience • Supporting a variety of LLM providers • Tracking and optimizing token usage for cost control • Configuring API keys, authentication, and provider-specific settings • Handling rate limits and service outages with degradation • Processing multimodal inputs (text, images) in Langchain workflows • Extracting structured data from unstructured LLM responses • Leveraging “content parts” in v0.4 for advanced thinking-model support • Debugging LLM interactions using verbose logging and telemetry • Kickstarting experiments in LiveBook notebooks and demos • Comparing Elixir LangChain to the original Python implementation • Crafting human-in-the-loop workflows for interactive AI features • Integrating Langchain with the Ash framework for chat-driven interfaces • Contributing to open-source LLM adapters and staying ahead of API changes • Building fallback chains (e.g., OpenAI → Azure) for seamless continuity • Embedding business logic decisions directly into AI-powered tools • Summarization techniques for token efficiency in ongoing conversations • Batch processing tactics to leverage lower-cost API rate tiers • Real-world lessons on maintaining uptime amid LLM service disruptions Links mentioned: https://rubyonrails.org/ https://fly.io/ https://zionnationalpark.com/ https://podcast.thinkingelixir.com/ https://github.com/brainlid/langchain https://openai.com/ https://claude.ai/ https://gemini.google.com/ https://www.anthropic.com/ Vertex AI Studio https://cloud.google.com/generative-ai-studio https://www.perplexity.ai/ https://azure.microsoft.com/ https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.html https://oban.pro/ Chris McCord's ElixirConf EU 2025 Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojL_VHc4gLk Getting started: https://hexdocs.pm/langchain/gettingstarted.html https://ash-hq.org/ https://hex.pm/packages/langchain https://hexdocs.pm/igniter/readme.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM9iQlQSFg @brainlid on Twitter and BlueSky Special Guest: Mark Ericksen.

A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Toronto, University of Oklahoma, the Census Bureau, and the National Bureau of Economic Research at Stanford reveals a significant productivity pattern known as the J-curve in American manufacturing following AI adoption. The study indicates that companies often experience short-term productivity losses before realizing long-term gains. Initial use of industrial AI leads to increased work-in-progress inventory and investment in robotics, alongside labor reductions and declines in profitability, particularly affecting older businesses. However, those that adopt growth-oriented strategies can mitigate these initial losses and benefit from stronger growth over time.The podcast also discusses the disconnect between public perception and expert opinion regarding AI capabilities. A panel from the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence found that a majority of researchers believe public understanding does not align with the reality of AI research, which is hindering progress. Many experts argue that simply scaling up current AI approaches will not lead to achieving human-like intelligence, advocating instead for a cautious and collaborative approach to AI development that emphasizes safety and ethical governance.In addition to AI discussions, the episode highlights the concerning expansion of North Korean IT scams into Europe, targeting high-value sectors such as defense and government. These operatives are using fabricated identities to secure lucrative positions, with the potential to generate billions annually. The FBI has confirmed this shift in tactics, indicating a growing trend of extortion attempts by North Korean operatives. The episode also covers Microsoft's new email security measures aimed at high-volume senders to combat phishing and spoofing attacks, emphasizing the importance of compliance with stricter email authentication standards.Finally, the podcast touches on broader themes of technological advancement and innovation, particularly in the context of competition between the U.S. and China. Notable opinion pieces highlight the rapid technological growth in China, raising concerns about the U.S.'s ability to maintain its innovative edge. The discussion emphasizes the need for businesses to prepare for a fragmented global tech landscape, encouraging investment in automation and AI as part of a resilience strategy. The episode concludes with a reminder of the importance of practical applications of technology, rather than succumbing to the hype surrounding AI. Four things to know today 00:00 AI Adoption: Why the Road to Innovation Is Bumpy but Worth It—According to Experts05:36 North Korean IT Scams Go Global While Microsoft Gets Tough on Spam—Plus DoD's Signal Investigation 08:41 N-able Integrates, TD SYNNEX Finances, and Microsoft Bets on Cloud PCs—What MSPs Need to Know10:46 AI Hype vs. Reality: Are Incremental Gains Enough to Compete Globally?  Supported by:  https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship  Join Dave April 22nd to learn about Marketing in the AI Era.  Signup here:  https://hubs.la/Q03dwWqg0 All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Episode 50 | AI Agents in ActionThe Big Themes:The Rise of 'Agent Ratios': As companies roll out more AI agents, the "agent-to-human ratio" could become a useful AI maturity indicator. Currently, we're seeing early adoption — with Oracle reporting that only 5–10% of its customers have put agents into production. These early use cases focus on low-risk, easily-automated tasks. It's a cautious start, but the trajectory is upward. Bonnie points out that once the groundwork is laid, the pace of adoption will likely accelerate, yielding increased productivity.Four Smart Questions for Evaluating Enterprise AI Initiatives: To help customers decide whether to adopt AI capabilities, Bonnie offers four key questions: (1) Is it available to me? Not all customers have access to AI features; infrastructure matters. (2) Do I need or want it? Weigh the risk-reward tradeoff, especially in terms of time and internal resources. (3) Is my data protected? Ensure your vendor offers strong governance and compliance support. (4) What is the time to value?Knowing When to Leap and When to Wait on AI Adoption: Should companies wait or dive into AI now? Her advice: it depends. If your organization is in a fast-moving, innovation-driven sector, early adoption is essential to stay competitive. Waiting could mean falling behind. But for highly regulated industries or companies unused to rapid tech change, a cautious approach makes sense.

In This Episode … The critical need for women in tech, and WHY itʻs essential to encourage and foster their interest in STEM and technology early. The numbers show that 40-45 percent of introductory computer science and engineering students are women. But only two courses later, half of the women have disappeared. Furthermore, 50 percent of early career STEM women are abandoning the field by age 35. The importance of women-in-tech organizations, and the support/funding for these. Recently, Women Who Code and Girls in Tech (somewhat similar nonprofits) announced their closures, sparking major concerns about stalled progress on increasing diversity in the tech industry. RTC fosters three vibrant racially-affirming women communities: “Latinas de RTC,” “Tech Natives”, and “Black Wings”, providing support, community and resources for these groups as they navigate their college tech journeys. In 2023, Black women represented only 2.2 percent of people in tech, and Latina women only 1.9 percent. Black, Latina, and Indigenous women receiving computing degrees have decreased by 40 percent over the past decade to 4 percent combined. With partner Goldman Sachs, RTC created a $1.5M collaborative Women in Tech fund that invests in degree completion for undergrad women in computing, providing rapid-response grants to close the graduation gap for low-income students. Conversation Takeaways Women represent only 18% of computer science graduates. Many women drop out of tech courses due to feeling of not belonging. Rewriting the Code supports 30,000 women in tech. Community and mentorship are crucial for retention. Tech companies need to recognize their role in diversity. Every company is a tech company now. Building trust is essential for underrepresented groups. Diverse teams lead to better outcomes. Encouragement should start as early as preschool. Representation matters in tech education. Career paths should not be limited by gender. Fostering curiosity in children is crucial for their development. Role models play a significant role in inspiring...
