Volt – front end tooling for Phoenix that runs inside the BEAM

In plain words

Volt is a front-end tooling system for Phoenix, the web framework for Elixir, that executes directly within the BEAM virtual machine. It enables developers building Phoenix applications to handle front-end compilation and asset management without leaving the Elixir ecosystem. The tool streamlines the development workflow by integrating front-end processes into the BEAM, making it useful for teams working with Phoenix who want to keep their entire stack within a single runtime environment.

  Bloom – A shadcn like UI library for Elixir and Phoenix2024 · bloom-ui.fly.dev · ▲189

  I've been writing Elixir for 5 years and made plenty of sites with Phoenix and LiveView but my biggest gripe has always been with the lack of quality UI components available. The JS ecosystem has so many, and it's the one thing I miss from being primarily a React & Node developer. So this is my attempt at bringing some pretty and useful components most applications need to Phoenix projects to try and fill in the gaps between what makes LiveView such a productive joy to work with. The library is very very raw and requires some initial clean up so PRs are very welcome to tidy up the DX as well…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
