Akka uses the actor model. https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/typed/actors.html

IIRC, Akka based their implementation on Erlang (possibly OTP), but it's been a long time since I did anything with either Erlang or Scala, and I never used Akka in Java.

Akka was indeed inspired by Erlang. For a modern take, there's Apache Pekko (incubating), a fork of Akka 2.6.x https://github.com/apache/incubator-pekko
