Libargus is a low-latency local LLM inference engine for Java using OpenJDK's Foreign Function and Memory API to embed C++ tensor compute graphs directly in-process, bypassing typical JNI or REST sidecar overhead. Its innovative zero-allocation hot paths and microarchitectural guardrails make it interesting for high-performance JVM-native AI workloads.
