The stack underneath is built for the JVM rather than bolted onto it: toknroll: pure-Java tokenizers, zero dependencies gguf / safetensors: read and write llama.cpp and HuggingFace model formats jam: quantized matmul kernels, competitive with llama.cpp on CPU jota: Tensor API targeting Java, C, CUDA, HIP, Metal, OpenCL, and…
