Nx is an Elixir library providing multi-dimensional arrays (tensors) and numerical definitions with pluggable backends. The monorepo also includes EXLA (Google's XLA compiler backend) and Torchx (LibTorch backend) for accelerated computation.

Use cases

• perform tensor computations in Elixir
• compile numerical code with XLA for GPU acceleration
• run numerical definitions with JIT compilation
• use PyTorch/LibTorch as a backend from Elixir
• build machine learning models in Elixir
• accelerate linear algebra workloads on GPU

When to choose

• you want NumPy-like tensors in Elixir
• you need GPU-accelerated numerical computing in the BEAM ecosystem
• you want JIT-compiled numerical definitions via XLA or LibTorch

When to avoid

• you need a mature deep learning ecosystem like PyTorch or TensorFlow
• your project is not on the Erlang/Elixir platform
• you need extensive pretrained model support out of the box
