Enhancing LiveView Apps with Nx and AI Features

Paulo Valente gives a detailed talk on incorporating Nx functionality into Phoenix LiveView applications to add AI features, specifically focusing on image classification using the Bumblebee library. Paulo explains the setup of a Phoenix LiveView application, discusses the integration of necessary dependencies, and walks through the use of STB image dependency for loading image binaries. He demonstrates how Bumblebee and Nx can work together for loading and serving pre-trained models from Hugging Face via AoN. Paulo also covers settings for configuring Nx, the default backend, and compiling with EXLA. Additionally, he highlights the importance of optimizing data transfer by resizing and compressing images client-side to reduce data consumption and improve performance. Moreover, he demonstrates the benefit of distributing the Nx serving across different nodes, enhancing the application's scalability and performance.
