Excited to share that #TornadoVM is featured in the latest edition of @JAVAPROmagazin Magazine (April 2026), focused on "Java in the Age of AI."

👉 https://t.co/DgSFexvtgN

In this article, @mikepapadim shared our experiences on building #LLM inference libraries in #Java and accelerating them on #GPUs with #TornadoVM.

Great to see continued innovation in the Java ecosystem, especially around high-performance computing and AI acceleration.

Great to see external contributions driving real progress 🚀

Native #GPU support on Apple Silicon with Metal unlocked by #TornadoVM has now enabled running Devstral 2 models directly on-device — a big step forward for performance and accessibility.

This is exactly what makes #opensource so powerful 🔥

[TornadoVM @tornadovm]

We’re excited to see TornadoVM featured at @ocxconference OCX 2026.

In “TornadoVM: The Journey from Academia to Open Source Success,” @thanos_str from @csmcr will share how TornadoVM evolved from academic research into an open source success story.

Great visiti to @netflix HQs at Los Gatos and share with the Java platform teams our latest advancements in @tornadovm. Thanks to @igb for hosting me!

It was fantastic to opportunity to connect and discuss how we can built more GPU-accelerated libraries in Java.

[TornadoVM @tornadovm]

We are glad to announce an accepted research publication that will be presented by our research team at the ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering 2026 in early May in Florence, Italy.

The paper introduces TornadoVMPulse, a profiling and visualization tool for TornadoVM that helps developers analyze and optimize Java applications running on GPUs and other accelerators.

TornadoVMPulse has been used for optimizing #GPULlama3, a Java-native Llama3 pipeline, resulting in:
⚡ 38% lower data-transfer cost
⚡ 18.4% faster execution per layer

In October we will give a deep dive talk about #TornadoVM, an #opensource #Java technology for hardware acceleration at @Devoxx!

Happy to be back at #DevoxxBE! Join us to learn more!

Registration will open soon!

[Michalis Papadimitriou @mikepapadim]

I had great time discussing with @AdamBien our latest work on #GPULlama3.java and how we used @tornadovm to have GPU inference enabled in Java for multiple models

[Michalis Papadimitriou @mikepapadim]

Cool article on our work on LLM inference with TornadoVM!

Now, https://t.co/pEHpA4oprX supports also Mistral models and soon Gwen3
