summary

Compares Spring AI and LangChain4j by showing working code: a chat client that calls a local Ollama Mastral model to explain integrals. Spring AI uses auto‑configured injectable model beans, application.properties/YAML prompts as runtime resources, and produced a terse or ambiguous derivative reply until the template is tightened. LangChain4j wires models and memory explicitly in plain Java, keeps prompts as code, and returns a long, detailed explanation; both approaches run locally via Ollama.
