Show HN: Low-latency local LLM runner via OpenJDK Panama FFM (Java 22)
Summary
Show HN introduces a low-latency local LLM runner for the Java ecosystem that uses OpenJDK Panama's Foreign Function & Memory API (FFM) with Java 22. Built on GGML/llama.cpp, it aims to provide zero-copy, off-heap inference and to unify text, speech, and multimodal processing behind a single native runtime with Java bindings. The article outlines architectural decisions, build and runtime requirements, and example Java usage patterns for text, audio, and multimodal workloads.
