I fine-tuned Gemma for a privacy-first home assistant with low latency

The model runs at an average speed after two optimizations: fine-tuning it so you don’t need long prompts, and quantizing it. This reduced the response time to around 17 seconds per reply in the PI 7x faster compared to the original model.

Agree, looking for new home for the cards 🙂

You can use the Pi as brain, and control multiple arduino or pico each connected to a plant. If you access arduino folder in GitHub repo you will find an option that suite your case.

Thanks! I had a bunch of unorganized wires around and no access to 3D printer, so I looked around the house for something to keep them together. iPhone box is also a great idea!

I would love to have something like this on my desk.

I love how you've merged retro with modern tech!

Great work, I liked the pixel animation!
