It was exactly a year ago, at Devoxx.be 2023, when the LangChain4j project was presented to the world for the very first time. Members of the Quarkus team at Devoxx saw the presentation and they were blown away by the potential of the new library. Right after the talk they reached out to the LangChain4j folks and that very same afternoon, in the busy corridors of Kinepolis they started coding the first Quarkus/LangChain4j extension. Next morning they showed the Alpha version of that work to the LangChain4j team, and the rest is history.
Quarkus provides an ideal runtime for coding intelligent applications in Java. It builds on top of LangChain4j, offering seamless integration with CDI, build time optimizations, performance and production enhancements, effortless creation of native images using GraalVM and an unmatched developer experience and joy! The Quarkus DevMode makes iterative development and prompt engineering a breeze, Quarkus DevServices can spin up containers for you behind the scenes, and the Quarkus DevUI offers insights into your intelligent applications.
Come to this talk to find out how Quarkus embraces the AI/LLM universe through LangChain4j, and get ideas for crafting your own intelligent applications, starting from simple examples accessing local or remote LLMs, to implementing AI Services and advanced RAG scenarios!
LangChain4j was presented for the first time at Devoxx.be 2023 and since then it has met a lot of interest from Java Developers.
