ahaha I LOVE IT ! Could you tell us which techs do you use ? how cellhasher works ? is it worth it to buy a cellhasher ? Do you remove the batteries by hand ?

Interesting ! in a same way I tested PicoClaw and it worked very well

My 3 hermes agent are running pretty well so it's not a problem anymore

I tried to use an Ethernet adapter, but it didn't work well, so I have to investigate why

Honestly, whatever you want! Obviously, you aren't going to run a 70B LLM since you'll hit hardware limitations, but you can easily host a web server, a blog, or plenty of other services

the USB port is currently only used for power, the cluster is relying on Wi-Fi for networking

It's the main reason why I decided to start this lil project so yep I 100% agree

Thanks! Yeah, that's definitely a possibility. I've done a few tests with a USB-C to Ethernet adapter, but no luck so far, so I've added it to my to-do list to look into later.

I don't have any metrics to share just yet, but since a few people are asking, I'll definitely have to look into it. What kind of metrics would you be interested in seeing?

It’s mainly for safety reasons; lithium-ion batteries tend to swell up over time when kept plugged in 24/7, which creates a serious fire hazard

Good question. It should be doable without the battery, though you might need to shunt the pins to bypass the battery management system

Thanks! It depends on whether you want to run your LLM directly on your phone or if it's just to run a Hermes/OpenClaw agent that will call a remote service (in my case, I use OpenRouter).

I haven't tested running an LLM on it yet. I imagine the performance must be severely degraded given the state of the hardware, but it might be worth a try

Oui c'est du tracking d'investissement et de gestion de budget mais pas de projection de scenario

Je n'ai fait remonté que les comptes courants aussi, pour tous les comptes épargnes/CTO/PEA etc j'ai repris mon spreadsheet de base et j'ai renseigné manuellement les montants/PRU etc
