A public local LLM benchmark / LLM benchmark leaderboard for edge boards: a reproducible systems bench for small open-weight models, measured under locked power modes. Read more
A practical walkthrough of mDNS, Zeroconf, and Apple’s AWDL — how AirDrop finds your phone, how smoltorrent discovers Raspberry Pis with no hardcoded IPs, and how a Swift sidecar bridges Python to Apple’s peer-to-peer WiFi stack. Read more
5 Bonsai-family 1–1.58bit LLMs benchmarked across 4 power modes on Jetson Orin Nano Super 8GB. 25W sweet spot: 47–48% more tok/s than 15W, best output tok/J for all sub-4B models. Read more
Build a 3-node Jetson Orin Nano Super 8GB cluster with active cooling. Real numbers: ~759 Mbps per link (gigabit), peak 58.3°C across all 3 nodes under full 18-core sustained load, zero throttling at 1728 MHz throughout. Read more
8 tiny LLMs benchmarked across 4 power modes on Jetson Orin Nano Super 8GB: llama.cpp vs Ollama. 25W sweet spot: 43% more tok/s than 15W, better tok/J than MAXN. Read more
An ablation study of GRPO reward signals for 64-token Reddit TL;DR summarization across Qwen2.5-0.5B and LFM-2.5-350M on Apple Silicon. Read more
A 942 MB checkpoint. Four Raspberry Pis. ~1.5 min gather. No single point of failure. A deep dive into smoltorrent - a distributed checkpoint sharding system built over raw TCP with replication, SHA-256 integrity verification, mDNS discovery, and Prometheus monitoring. Read more
Build a 4-node Raspberry Pi 4B cluster with UCTRONICS enclosure, PoE+ hats, and TP-Link LS110P PoE switch. Real numbers: 94.4 Mbps per link (100 Mbps switch ceiling), 62.3°C under full 16-core load, zero throttling at 1800 MHz throughout. Read more
