Our Commentary ​

Edge AI on a Raspberry Pi? This is genuinely cool. We've been waiting for more accessible ways to get powerful AI models running on low-cost hardware. LiteRT and Gemma seem like a potent combination for anyone looking to build local, real-time AI applications. The potential for robotics and embedded systems here is immense. I'm already thinking about what I could build.
