What's the motivation for the name? I get "numbat" to "numerical", but not immediately seeing any connection for bumblebee.
Maybe a more serious question: is anyone using Elixir ML in production? I'm absolutely gobsmacked at the quantity and quality of development effort that's gone into it (and use Livebook daily, though not for ML stuff). It's clearly a major focus for the team. I'm wondering if it's ready for production adoption, and if so, if anyone has used it "in anger" yet.
We use it in production at Amplified! Itβs been a joy. We train our own large language models and have fine tuned and deployed using Elixir. I talked about it at ElixirConf this year (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2Nr4dNu6hI).
We were able to completely eliminate a few python services and consolidate to all Elixir for ETL and ML.
