Making it easier to run AI models directly on phones is a big step forward, and I’d definitely be interested in testing it out. I’m planning to explore mobile AI apps, especially in the video editing and content creation space.

Must be a great feeling to have clients come to you without having to look for them Re: JForum release for JakartaEE 10 Hardware and Software Cloud-based Apps by Dani Congrats on the latest release of your software.
