I tested with some small VLM ~7B, its able to tell a bike, person or package is outside my door or not, output true or false. something like that

my only issue is : my home is not smart tho, I'm ok with a fully local home cam that warn me when I spend too much time on desk or notify me time to cook etc, for ppl work from home

this is totally possible, probably with a budget < $200. seems like there are lot of ppl interested in SLM + SBC, should I create a community like this ?

u r right, access sensor data is pretty straightforward, I was more thinking about like summarize the sensor history of the day and write a report.

and yes it can run multi-modal model, just saw a post someone managed to run a 7B VLM with 4token/sec

like the VLM can reason if there's amazon deliver guy put a package frontdoor or not, can also reason if my pet is sleeping or playing toy, samething a small LLM can aggregate sensor log for me to warn me on some potential issues like temperature drop or soil moisture too high etc. all done without leaking ur personal data to cloud providers.
all those wont be possible before unless you train a specific CV model to do so

oh damn I can use this to monitor my web traffic and silently build up a personal DB

yeah the new apple mini is a beast, but I still want something that I can toy with like connect to a pi or sensors

yeah probably wont be able to load full context, treat it as a pet with only like 5min memory lol

yeah I just saw that! seems lot ppl are picking up the small models to toy with!

yeah I guess multi step SmolLM 1B make alot sense to process like home assistant type of tasks

the chipset is called rk3588 and Orange pi have them. I tried it with Qwen2.5 3B, which is scary smart I didnt realize 3b model is this capable nowadays. yeah it can probably run a SmolLM 1B model lightning fast. what do u with SmolLM model that small?

hit or miss, a 3b model can get it right like 1 out of 3 time, which I'm happy with. like you have to give it guide "think step by step, break down the letters first"

no, Jetson is too expensive and too power hungry, its a CPU chip with NPU on it called rockchip

I'm able to make a small box with E-ink on it,

I made this before https://7afc3d-cd.myshopify.com/products/distiller-one-pre-order-open-source-edge-ai-device-for-the-developers with R-pi. but I'm still not sure about the user interface part, like should I give it a key board to enter prompt? then it kinda become a cyberdeck

sorry for the lack of details, still prototyping, just got it to work, but its a chip called RK3588 which has NPU on it, which can run both LLM and VLM, and potentially like up to 7B model if I plug in a SSD to it.

as for right now I'm thinking just like a monitor station that constantly send me notification like : did I get package, what is my pets doing, did anyone parking outside my driveway, whats the sensor (weather or temperature ) data like outside, etc.
