At InnoIT Consulting, we are excited to invite you to our next meetup, together with Barcelona JUG, on Tuesday, April 29th at 18:30h.

SUMMARY

The speaker will be Horacio González (Head of DevRel at Clever Cloud).

Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming software development, and Java developers are no exception. But how can we go beyond simple API calls and deeply integrate LLMs into our applications?

In this talk, we will explore the different types of LLMs—closed-source, open-source, and local models—before diving into how Java developers can effectively leverage them. We'll focus on LangChain4J, a framework that simplifies integrating LLMs into Java, and demonstrate how LLMs can interact with existing Java applications and their data through tool calling and function execution.

A key element in this evolution is the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an emerging standard for integrating LLMs. We’ll discuss its role in connecting LLMs with real-world applications and show how to build an MCP server using Quarkus, covering everything from setup to practical use cases.

If you’re a Java developer looking to efficiently integrate LLMs and take advantage of emerging standards like MCP, this talk will give you the knowledge and code to get started.

With time for a dynamic Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food 🍕 and drinks 🍻.
