In that week I presented some insights at the Volkswagen Stammtisch, an internal developer weekly meeting to share knowledge. Super cool idea frm Volkswagen to have something like that in the company and I was honored to do so. The content of my slides is already shared in that blog, so I don’t have anything to add.

Other topics I did in that week were business usual, except one thing which is really worth mentioning, the learnings from the Quarkus Atomic Cafe.

Quarkus News (from the Quarkus Atomic Cafe)

The two most hot topics at the moment are Model Conztext Protocol and Agentic AI. In the meeting we discussed the content for the next two Quarkus Insight and they were mind blowing. Before that meeting I didn’t understand both thing at all. After the meeting both are clear for me. The code is open and available on github: https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-mcp-servers

Super recommendation to have a look into the next two Quarkus Insights, here is the link

Update:

Both talks are now available. Here are the links:

  1. Episode 195: Agentic AI
  2. Episode 194: Model Context Protocol

Other topics were discussed too. Here’s a summary:

  • granite 3.1 is cool. forget everything before 3.1
  • qwen is best for local
  • qwen and llama are great for tooling
  • deepseek runs faster, but puts train of thoughts into the process and does not have tool support
  • other models will learn from deepseek’s research
