A developer has released a one-shot build script that automates the entire pipeline for running a 28M parameter AI model on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, from cloning the repository to training, export…
A developer known as slvDev has run a 28.9-million-parameter language model on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, an $8 chip with 512KB of SRAM, achieving 9.5 tokens per second for offline text generation. …
A developer known as slvDev has run a 28.9 million parameter language model on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller that costs about $8, generating text at roughly 9.5 tokens per second entirely on-device. The…
