What is “agentic AI cloud era” referring to? I honestly don’t know what this buzz-speak is targeting. Running models locally on the server, for cloud workloads? Agentic, that is just a LLM pattern.

Show HN: A2UI for Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView

maxekman — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 19:28:42 +0000

Hello,

I wanted to explore the A2UI protocol using my new favorite tech/stack, so I did a heavily LLM-assisted implementation of it.

It's a very early release and more of an experimental nature. I have yet to use it in a sharp situation, but my goal is to do that. Will report back later with real world usage, and of course update and tweak the API so it's as fluid as possible.

And as it happened last time for me, I found another implementation (ex_a2ui) just as I published this. I think there is room for both as they have different use cases and APIs (this being server-side rendering, the other being the server protocol).

Maybe someone of you find this interesting still!

Thanks, Max

Show HN: A2A protocol for Elixir with GenServer-like ergonomics

maxekman — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 19:36:49 +0000

Hello!

I wanted A2A support for an Elixir project and thought about how I wanted to use it in my app, and less about the protocol. This became a GenServer-like protocol for an agent. The package has basic support and complies to the A2A TCK suite.

Most of the project is LLM-coded, but with detailed planning and review at each step. Less than a week from initial idea to first hex.pm release - all coded on the side of other work. Interesting times where such a thing is possible.

Just after publishing I did find an existing Elixir package implementing A2A (not sure how I could miss it at first). The other package has different semantics and was different enough for me to decide to keep mine up.

In any case, feedback and comments are welcome as always!

Thanks, Max

Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely check it out.

I just LLM-built an A2A package which is a GenServer-like abstraction. I however missed that there already was another A2A implementation for Elixir. Anyway, I decided to leave it up because the package semantics were different enough. Here it is if anyone is interested: https://github.com/actioncard/a2a-elixir

Good idea! I’ll look into the code and check how extendable it is.

Awesome! I was thinking about implementing something similar for the Swedish government APIs to improve transparency and knowledge of the democratic processes.

I wonder how easy it is to adopt this project to that?

I can recommend reading “The Phoenix Project”.

I was definitely leaning this way too, really well put. Training at work (for all roles) definitely needs an upswing. As a freelance for many years I always made sure to do my own training, be it certifications or meetup groups or conferences. I have little real insight into how common that is nowadays, but I often read that it seems less common.

I submitted that article over here [1], would be interesting to see a discussion on that in itself.

I saw this linked from this post the other day [1]. Would be interesting to hear what you think about the ideas in there.

On this awesome list [1] I found the ICEBreaker board [2] which was great to learn on. It’s a fully open source design too [3].

So you want to build an embedded Linux system?

You should try out OrbStack: https://docs.orbstack.dev/kubernetes/

I switched to it completely, it’s very convenient to have both fast (-est on Mac) Docker support and a really smooth VM setup for running occasional Linux tools (such as Yocto in my case).

Edit: added some background info to my recommendation.
