​💡 Featured Session Spotlight

​Topic: Local LLMs with Java + Ollama

​Subtitle: Build Privacy-Focused AI Applications Without Cloud APIs

​Session Overview:

​Moving AI from a buzzword to a secure production reality means figuring out how to handle data privacy. Relying entirely on cloud APIs can expose sensitive data and rack up massive token bills. In this session, we will explore how to bypass the cloud entirely. You will learn how to leverage Ollama alongside the Java ecosystem to run, orchestrate, and interact with powerful Large Language Models (LLMs) completely locally.

​What you will learn:

​• How to spin up and manage open-source models (like Llama 3 or Mistral) locally using Ollama.

​• Integrating local LLMs into Java applications using modern frameworks and libraries.

​• Practical design patterns for building secure, privacy-first, and zero-cloud-dependency AI features.
