Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! And, would you believe it, I'm writing this at SpringOne 2023, in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the first in-person SpringOne since 2019, and I'm so, so, so glad to be here!

We've got a ton of things to get into this week, let's dive right into it!

• This year we're celebrating twenty (20!) years since the early builds of Spring Framework 1.0, and ten (10!!) years since the early builds of Spring Boot 1.0. Did you see this amazing easter-egg, The History of Spring?? It's amazing!
• We announced a new project called Spring AI that provides a convenient abstraction to allow developers to work with Large Language Models like Azure OpenAI and regular OpenAI, and - hopefully - more in the future. I did a live stream with its founder, Dr. Mark Pollack, here, and we did a demo you can look at here
