Had so much fun at @JDD_Krakow 2026 in Kraków yesterday. I presented “Java Goes CUDA-Native”: new @tornadovm features that let @jitLLM run LLM inference at GPU-native speed, from Java. tornadovm.org jitllm.io #opensource #Java #TornadoVM #GPU #AI

LLM Inference on GPU in Java? @tornadovm and @jitllm at @Devoxx Belgium! * Java writing Java that runs on the GPU. Java for the GPU, on the GPU!. * A @QuarkusIO @langchain4j application reviewing it's future port to Quarkus 4 locally, all in Java on GPU! youtu.be/HO5CpETzywk?is=_ws2…

96.65 tokens/sec for #Llama 3.2 1B – running through a pure-#Java GPU inference engine. @mikepapadim explores GPULlama3.java & #TornadoVM and how they bring GPU-accelerated #LLM inference to the #JVM. See the code: javapro.io/2026/10/13/buildi… #AI @langchain4j @QuarkusIO

Yesterday my colleagues @MXekalaki and @mikepapadim showed live demos about using @nvidia cuFFT and cuBLAS with @tornadovm for signal filtering and @jitllm! NVIDIA performance is a jar away from Java. #Java #CUDA #TornadoVM

TornadoVM has a new family member! #jitLLM provides blazing fast AI inference at native speed⚡️👇
Can Java compete with llama.cpp/@ollama? YES! With @jitLLM! jitLLM uses @nvidia CUDA libraries (cuBLAS, cuDNN) and reaches 0.90× to 1.12× of llama.cpp's throughput! jitLLM is empowered by @tornadovm and will be soon in @langchain4j and @QuarkusIO. github.com/beehive-lab/jitll…

Excited to see our work reaching this point. ⚡ Pure Java LLM inference, seriously fast. Approaching - and in some cases exceeding - llama.cpp performance.

TornadoVM 7.0.0 introduces the new TileContext API, bringing @nvidia CUDA cuTile programming to Java. Now, you can combine TileContext , JIT and cuBLAS tasks in a single TaskGraph and capture them as one CUDA Graph and more all from Java.
TornadoVM 7.0.0 is out! New TileContext API: Write #GPU kernels from #Java in tiles, not threads, via @nvidia cuTile model. The compiler picks threads, shared memory and Tensor Cores. Mixes with Parallel API, KernelContext & cuBLAS in one TaskGraph. 👉 github.com/beehive-lab/Torna…
