I am working with elixir more than one years, and I want to use it for artificial intelligence, I know python is best for it, but in future elixir will be good choice for artificial intelligence?

Elixir is making strides in ML/AI, check out our Nx section:

[https://forum.elixirforum.com/c/elixir-framework-forums/nx-forum/105](https://forum.elixirforum.com/c/elixir-framework-forums/nx-forum/105)

> Does anyone have any guides, tips or primers for Nx (or ML in general)? I guess specifically things that would be helpful before reading [Genetic Algorithms in Elixir](https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/genetic-algorithms-in-elixir-pragprog/35085). Or does the book contain everything you might need? (If anyone’s interested we will probably run a book club for it soon - PM me if you’re interested, I should have a few copies to give away!)

Can we use python libraries in elixir for ML?

I wanted to use [`tiktoken`](https://github.com/openai/tiktoken) for splitting up some text into tokens before sending to OpenAI’s APIs, and I ended up writing the program as a Python script, and interfacing with it from Elixir using a [Port](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.13.4/Port.html).

Depending on your deployment this does complicate things a fair bit since you’ve got the extra language/tools to think about, so unless you _really really_ need something from Python, doing it in Elixir would be easier.
