Z80-μLM, a "Conversational AI" in just 40KB, sparked a lively HN discussion. It highlights the potential for localized AI, resource efficiency, and the future of small language models. A fascinating look at what's possible with minimal resources. #SmallAI 1/6

The discussion highlighted the importance of small, optimized AI models. Like studying simple organisms in biology, small model research offers deep scientific understanding and practical applications, pushing the boundaries of efficient AI design. #SmallAI 2/5

Okay. Now I've seen literally everything. An LLM and an inference engine, embedded in a font. fuglede.github.io/llama.ttf/ #SmallAI www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4bO...

Benchmarking TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite on Raspberry Pi 5 Using TensorFlow Lite, models on the Raspberry Pi 5 now offer similar inferencing performance to using a Coral TPU accelerator.

By me for @hacksterio.bsky.social, "Benchmarking TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite on Raspberry Pi 5." The big take away from these new benchmarks is that the new #RaspberryPi5 has similar performance when using TensorFlow Lite to the #CoralTPU. #TinyML #SmallAI

Bringing GPT-4o in From the Cloud to the Edge How to use the latest GPT-4o LLM to train specialized tinyML models to deploy on microcontroller-sized hardware at the edge.

Small language models are becoming more popular Tech giants have released small language models, which dodge the high costs and power demands of large ones like ChatGPT

It’s sort of interesting to see the financial markets paying attention to #SmallAI. That means that anything that affects “big” AI is important enough to move the markets. Makes sense, if it’s going to affect the $NVDA stock price, it’ll affect the market. finimize.com/content/smal...

The Beginnings of Small AI? We have reached a tipping point when it comes to AI, with signs that it is getting smaller and moving to the edge. Say "hello" to Small AI.
