Spring AI advisors are AOP for your LLM calls. Do something before the request, something after. I built two custom advisors: one that logs which tools are visible to the model, and one that tracks token usage per call with a running total. Full walkthrough here: youtu.be/WNJFR-_N9bc

NEW POST @birgitta410.bsky.social recently spent some time trying out running local LLMs for some programming tasks. In this memo she outlines the factors that influence how viable they are for the job. martinfowler.com/articles/exp...
Viability of local models for coding
Notes from my Thoughtworks colleagues on AI-assisted software delivery

Spring AI has two APIs for working with LLMs: ChatClient and ChatModel. They're not interchangeable, and knowing when to use each one will save you time and confusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdIDI71sGZM

Spring Boot 4.1 now includes built-in SSRF protection for HttpClient. No extra libraries, no custom filters. Secure by default. https://youtu.be/PDbBG_GrcwU
Spring Boot 4.1 brings lazy JDBC connections. Your app won't grab a database connection until it's actually needed. This means fewer wasted resources and better scalability out of the box. https://youtu.be/lsaBN1U2EB8
