Artificial intelligence and large language models are reshaping application development — and IBM i shops are no longer on the sidelines. This session cuts through the hype and gets practical, laying out the full landscape of LLM options available to IBM i developers and architects today. We'll cover running models natively on IBM i using LLaMA.cpp, leveraging the Python ecosystem on Power Systems, and enterprise-grade deployment through IBM partner Wallaroo. We'll also explore open-source "roll your own" approaches for those who want maximum control, along with additional emerging options rounding out the picture.
