More often than not, AI and LLM gets conflated in the public consciousness...and then gets mixed with "Agentic", "SaaS" and other well...slop. So, here is a farmer in Japan, using a raspberry pi, to sort cucumbers.

PS: 2016 article. I expect by now the tractor is self driving and named Betty.

If you have any other "dude does cool AI shit with a box of scraps in a cave", I'm all EARS.md

BirdNet, from Cornell University, is pretty cool. I've got a RasPi4 that's been running birdnet-pi for about a year and a half, seems pretty accurate based on the birds I see in my backyard. It'll also run on a $20 Pi Zero 2.

Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
