My @Devoxx Belgium talk on why you should build agents on the JVM is live.

No slides--just code with Embabel.

John Davies giving an important talk on local LLMs. Currently describing how Incept5 has built a banking workflow on Embabel using only local models.

I agree with you. It does feel like we are reaching a peak in the capabilities of the LLMs. And we are going to see smaller, more specialized models for local use. As capabilities converge, the frontier models are becoming a commodity. ie - who can offer the same thing the cheapest.

The capital pouring into the space makes the dot-com bubble look like an accounting error. When the market consolidates, who's going to be the first Webvan?

[John Thompson - Spring Framework Guru @spring_guru]

Is 2025 the last year of Python's dominance in AI? Maybe. With the GA release of Spring AI and Langchain4J, plus the progress on Embabel the landscape has certainly changed.

[John Thompson - Spring Framework Guru @spring_guru]

Good read. Embabel is a project to keep an eye on.

[Rod Johnson @springrod]

The first of a series of blogs showing how AI agent examples from popular Python frameworks can be rewritten in Java to be far better, using Embabel. Today's target: CrewAI.

After using Junie for the last few weeks, I feel like my role is morphing from being a Software Engineer into an AI Prompt Engineer, who happens to understand Software Engineering. The better your prompt, the better your results. #Junie #Jetbrains

@mydevlprplanet @hhariri @edeandrea @jetbrains @springboot @QuarkusIO Agree - there really isn't good metric to measure. One example I used Junie to implement paging on a list API, took about 20 min. Subjectively from experience, I know that would have taken 2-3hrs without AI.

[John Thompson - Spring Framework Guru @spring_guru]

@mydevlprplanet @hhariri @edeandrea @jetbrains @springboot @QuarkusIO What metric would you suggest?

My morning coding with Junie. #jetbrains #intellij

[John Thompson - Spring Framework Guru @spring_guru]

In the last two days, I've generated over 20,000 lines of code and written hundreds of unit tests using @intellijidea and Junie. The code Junie is generating is significantly better than any other AI coding tool I've used. The integration Junie has with the IntelliJ IDE is the kill shot for other AI coding tools.
