From Java Advent to Legionella: Standards, Specs, and LLMs

An airhacks.fm conversation with Olimpiu Pop about:

discussion about the Java Advent calendar 2025,

running AI inference in the enterprise with Java versus python,

why inference needs a mature ecosystem,

the confusion between machine learning,

inference and LLMs,

HTTP clients for remote models,

TornadoVM for local model acceleration,

avoiding premature optimization for LLM-generated code,

grounding LLMs against normative Java and Jakarta EE specifications,

the separation between API and SPI to eliminate hallucinations,

Boundary Control Entity (BCE) structure with self-contained packages for scalable LLM code generation,
