ElixirML

ML-Native Schema Validation and Variable System for Elixir

ElixirML is a high-performance, ML-first schema validation library designed specifically for machine learning workloads. It provides native support for ML-specific data types, LLM parameter validation, and optimization-ready variable spaces.

✅ Status: Phase 3 Complete

ElixirML has successfully completed Phase 3 development with full feature consolidation and proven performance:

  • 🚀 Exceptional Performance: 3M+ validations/second
  • 🧠 ML-Native Types: Temperature, probability, embeddings, quality scores
  • 🔧 Provider Support: OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq integrations
  • 📊 Zero Memory Overhead: Efficient validation pipeline
  • 🎯 Production Ready: Fully integrated with DSPEx teleprompter system

🚀 Quick Start

# Create an ML-optimized schema
schema = ElixirML.Runtime.create_schema([
  {:temperature, :float, [gteq: 0.0, lteq: 2.0]},
  {:max_tokens, :integer, [gteq: 1, lteq: 4096]},
  {:model, :string, [choices: ["gpt-4", "claude-3", "groq-mixtral"]]}
])

# Validate LLM parameters
case ElixirML.Runtime.validate(schema, %{
  temperature: 0.7,
  max_tokens: 1000,
  model: "gpt-4"
}) do
  {:ok, validated} -> IO.puts("✅ Parameters validated")
  {:error, error} -> IO.puts("❌ Validation failed: #{error.message}")
end

📊 Performance Benchmarks

🧠 ML-Native Features

Core ML Types

# Temperature validation for LLMs
{:temperature, :float, [gteq: 0.0, lteq: 2.0]}

# Probability scores
{:confidence, :probability, [default: 0.5]}

# Token counting
{:max_tokens, :integer, [gteq: 1, lteq: 100_000]}

# Quality metrics
{:quality_score, :float, [gteq: 0.0, lteq: 10.0]}

# Cost optimization
{:cost_limit, :float, [gteq: 0.01, lteq: 100.0]}

Provider-Specific Schemas

# OpenAI GPT-4 parameters
openai_schema = ElixirML.Runtime.create_schema([
  {:model, :string, [choices: ["gpt-4", "gpt-4-turbo", "gpt-3.5-turbo"]]},
  {:temperature, :float, [gteq: 0.0, lteq: 2.0]},
  {:frequency_penalty, :float, [gteq: -2.0, lteq: 2.0]},
  {:presence_penalty, :float, [gteq: -2.0, lteq: 2.0]}
], [provider: :openai])

# Anthropic Claude parameters  
anthropic_schema = ElixirML.Runtime.create_schema([
  {:model, :string, [choices: ["claude-3-opus", "claude-3-sonnet"]]},
  {:max_tokens, :integer, [gteq: 1, lteq: 100_000]},
  {:top_k, :integer, [gteq: 1, lteq: 200]}
], [provider: :anthropic])

🔧 Advanced Features

Variable Space Integration

# Create optimization-ready variable spaces
llm_space = ElixirML.Variable.MLTypes.llm_optimization_space()
teleprompter_space = ElixirML.Variable.MLTypes.teleprompter_optimization_space()

# Benchmark variable space performance
stats = ElixirML.Performance.benchmark_variable_space_validation(
  llm_space, 
  sample_configs, 
  iterations: 10
)

Performance Analysis

# Analyze schema complexity
profile = ElixirML.Performance.profile_schema_complexity(schema)
IO.puts("Complexity score: #{profile.total_complexity_score}")

# Memory usage analysis
memory_stats = ElixirML.Performance.analyze_memory_usage(schema, dataset)
IO.puts("Memory per validation: #{memory_stats.memory_per_validation_bytes}B")

JSON Schema Export

# Export for API documentation
json_schema = ElixirML.Runtime.to_json_schema(schema, [provider: :openai])

# Includes provider-specific optimizations
%{
  "type" => "object",
  "properties" => %{...},
  "x-openai-optimized" => true,
  "strict" => true
}

🎯 Integration with DSPEx

ElixirML is fully integrated with the DSPEx teleprompter system:

# SIMBA teleprompter uses ElixirML for validation
validated_config = ElixirMLSchemas.validate_trajectory(trajectory_data)
optimization_space = ElixirML.Variable.MLTypes.teleprompter_optimization_space()
