Episode 145 of airhacks.tv covers a range of Java 25 and architecture topics: the BCE (Boundary-Control-Entity) pattern from 1992 applied to modern package structure, a zero-dependency MCP server, Agent Smith — a ~130KB zero-dependency Java 25 agent framework with episodic memory and delegation, GPU-accelerated local LLM execution via TornadoVM with Apple Metal support for Mistral and DevStral, and the Z ecosystem of zero-dependency Java 25 scripts including ZUnit (a ~300-line parallel test runner) and ZB build tool. The episode also touches on LLMs understanding standards better than frameworks for lean code generation, and upcoming AirHacks Live workshops on spec-driven Java development.
