A developer built Bird-Away, a Raspberry Pi-powered system that uses an RTSP camera and Claude AI to detect birds in a pool, then triggers a sprinkler to deter them. The system saves images and video …
A developer revived an Anki Vector robot from 2018 by replacing its defunct cloud services with a Raspberry Pi running WirePod and a local AI model, Gemma 4 12B via Ollama. The robot now responds to o…
A new analysis of edge AI hardware reveals that TOPS (trillions of operations per second) is a poor predictor of large language model (LLM) performance, with memory capacity and bandwidth being the cr…
A guide details how to build a private, offline AI assistant on a Raspberry Pi 5 using pre-trained language models, emphasizing the need for 8GB or 16GB RAM, active cooling, a proper power supply, and…
Google Coral and Hailo-8 TPUs cannot run large language models because they are designed for vision tasks, lacking the memory bandwidth and capacity required for LLM inference. Hailo's new Hailo-10 ch…
Midjourney released a behind-the-scenes video of its dunk-tank ultrasound scanner, but the tour offered little evidence to support the company's claims of transforming medicine. The video, hosted by a…
HookProbe, an open-source, AI-native edge IDS/IPS, relies on eBPF maps for high-speed packet processing on low-cost hardware like the Raspberry Pi. The project explains common eBPF map creation failur…
IceWhaleTech has released CasaOS, an open-source home server operating system that simplifies running Docker applications. The platform aims to provide a low-cost personal cloud solution for data mana…
A developer built NanoMaestro Realtime, a 50MB AI music model with 13M parameters that generates piano music in real time on CPU in the browser, using ONNX and Transformers.js. The model runs on older…
The WEEDINATOR, an open-source autonomous weeding platform built by the GOAT INDUSTRIES team, has reached a milestone as an effective horticultural instrument after nearly a decade of development. Bas…
A fully offline voice assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 uses Google's Gemma LLM via Ollama, Whisper for speech-to-text, and Piper for text-to-speech, achieving 12-25 second latency with no cl…
A developer built Limen Edge, a middleware agent that converts PLC data from protocols like Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and EtherNet/IP into REST and gRPC APIs, aiming to simplify industrial data access for w…
A developer built a fully offline voice assistant on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 using local AI models. The device records audio, processes it with Whisper for speech-to-text, runs a local language model vi…
Software engineer Cameron Paczek, 24, used AI tools including Anthropic's Claude to build a DIY flight tracker called Skylight that projects real-time aircraft movements onto his ceiling. The system u…
The Orange Pi 6 single-board computer features a 12-core CIX CD8180 processor, up to 24GB of RAM, and 45 TOPS of AI compute power, including a 28.8 TOPS NPU. It supports 8K video decoding, dual 2.5GbE…
CrankGPT is a fully offline AI box powered by a hand crank, running speech recognition, a small language model, and text-to-speech locally on a single-board computer without battery or internet. It al…
Developer Geoff McCaughan released Sidekick, a self-hosted AI agent platform with persistent memory and 70 MCP tools that can extend itself without code changes. The platform runs on a remote machine,…
Harvard University and MIT Press released a free, open-source two-volume textbook on machine learning systems, covering AI engineering from single-machine to fleet-scale infrastructure. The curriculum…
Gen Z is embracing anti-AI tech trends, building DIY 'cyberdecks' from Raspberry Pi and spare parts that reject artificial intelligence. The movement follows a surge in retro iPod sales, with Back Mar…
A developer documented the installation of the last30days-skill on Hermes Agent, an AI agent skill that researches topics across Reddit, X, YouTube, HN, Polymarket, and the web to synthesize grounded …
