Live demo shows a Quarkus app using Hibernate ORM 7.3 and LangChain4j with a local Ollama/Qwen‑3 model (30B/3B) to convert plain English into HQL generated by LLM, execute it via Hibernate, and serialize results to JSON for a RAG step; an example runs a select/count that returns five USA companies on record. The module named Hibernate Assistant emits a JSON metamodel of entities, the LLM emits queries validated by HQL, ~20 lines of core glue code run on a laptop, and the service can be exposed as an MCP tool.
