Local LLM for Spring Boot via Project Panama FFM and llama.cpp

mochallama at a glance

mochallama is a Java library that runs a local, tool-calling large language model directly inside a Spring Boot application's JVM process, using Project Panama FFM to talk to llama.cpp instead of a separate server.

Good for

  • Spring Boot developers who want a local LLM running in-process without installing or supervising a separate server like Ollama
  • Java/JVM projects that need an OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint (including streaming and tool calls) backed by a local model
  • Developers building agentic or function-calling features who want models that fail fast if they lack tool-calling support
  • Quickly trying a local tool-capable chatbot from the command line via npx without installing a JDK first

Questions people ask

Do I need to install Ollama, JNI bindings, or a native build toolchain to use mochallama?
No. mochallama uses Java's Panama FFM API to call llama.cpp directly and uses prebuilt native libraries for macOS Intel/Apple Silicon, Linux x86-64/ARM64, and Windows x86-64, so there is no JNI glue and no from-source compile.

What are the requirements to run mochallama?
You need JDK 22 or later because the Foreign Function & Memory API is GA at that version, and you must run with the --enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED flag.

Does mochallama support streaming responses and tool/function calling?
Yes, the OpenAI-compatible POST /v1/chat/completions endpoint supports non-streaming, SSE streaming (stream:true), and tools/tool_choice together.

What happens if I try to load a model that doesn't support tool calling?
mochallama is tool-calling-only and rejects non-tool-capable models at load time with a MODEL_NOT_TOOL_CAPABLE error instead of silently degrading.

Can I try mochallama without setting up a Java project?
Yes, you can run 'npx @deemwario/mochallama chat -m qwen2.5-1.5b' from the command line; the CLI ships its own JDK-22 runtime via npm and downloads the default model on first run.
