Devoxx Belgium – Java as an AI development Platform

Java + AI + GPUs = Deep Netts

We are excited to announce my upcoming session at Devoxx Belgium 2025, where we’ll explore how AI truly belongs in Java.

Deep Netts AI Engine using Project Panama — a Java-native AI library built for performance, simplicity, and scale.

What to expect in this talk:
✅ Live demo: Image recognition in Java, benchmarked GPU vs CPU
✅ Hands-on experience with Project Panama & Java 25
✅ Real-time ML inference in event streaming (Kafka, Flink)
✅ Transparent benchmarks and comparisons showing what’s now possible in Java

For years, JNI bridges and native wrappers made AI in Java painful. Now, with Panama we can finally deliver AI that runs natively in the JVM — accelerated, stable, and production-ready.

This isn’t theory. It’s running, live, on the JVM.
And it changes the game for anyone who thought AI in Java wasn’t possible.

📍 Join us in Antwerp and see how Java is becoming a true platform for AI.
