A developer wired seven ESP32 microcontrollers together to run a roughly 0.4-billion-parameter large language model, demonstrating that low-cost hardware can execute small neural networks. The project, detailed on XDA Developers, shows how to replicate the setup using off-the-shelf ESP32 boards, highlighting the feasibility of edge AI inference on constrained devices.
