The open source community in Java is very active and has created several libraries to use OpenAI services. But little is known about their quality, whether they support the latest features or if they are easy to maintain and evolve.

[Gigi Sayfan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gigisayfan/) has reviewed and compared some of those Java libraries:

- openai-java
- openai-kotlin
- langchain4j
- simple-openai

The result is interesting and surprising. I hope you enjoy his article here:
