Building a Simple AI Chat Server with Scala ZIO and Ollama
Briefly

The article discusses building an AI agent using Scala, ZIO, and Ollama's local LLMs, emphasizing the importance of ZIO's lightweight concurrency model. The guide outlines creating a high-performance chat server capable of using tool calling features offered by modern LLMs. It highlights how ZIO facilitates concurrent programming through fibers, which optimize resource management and provide a robust environment for developing scalable applications. The transformative nature of LLMs is also explored, showcasing their ability to perform complex tasks that require real-time data interaction.
ZIO uses a lightweight concurrency model based on fibers, enabling efficient execution of thousands of tasks concurrently on few actual JVM threads.
Leveraging Scala and ZIO allows developers to create high-performance applications, utilizing local LLMs to execute complex tasks with ease.
