Can Java compete with llama.cpp/ollama? YES! With @jitllm.io! jitLLM uses NVIDIA CUDA features and libraries (cuBLAS, cuDNN) and reaches 0.90× to 1.12× of llama.cpp's throughput! jitLLM is empowered by @tornadovm.org and will be soon in @langchain4j.dev and @quarkus.io. github.com/beehive-lab/...

New #TornadoVM release, and it's JVMCI-free. 📌No more separate jdk25 branch, no back-syncing every PR from develop - one build for JDK 21–27. 📌Native code also migrated from JNI to Panama's FFM API - 7.5k lines of C++ gone. Kudos to all contributors! 👏 #opensource #Java #GPU #AI

The next TornadoVM release 6.0 will remove completely the dependency to JVMCI and will be onwards compatible. Babylon/HAT are complementary and we may integrate some parts when they are stable. Also we will soon land a PR to integrate with SpringAI! Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
