Running a LLaMa Model Locally
Something special about running an open source LLM model locally. Few years ago, one would be too excited for merely calling GPT’s API using free credits after months of being on a waiting list just to get access. Now, I get to run such models locally as shown below, with no subsciption and with no…

Offline AI Image Search
So using one of Hugging Face AI models, I mentioned before, I wrote a simple Python script to iterate images in a folder, caption the images then update their metadata with said captions, making it possible to search my Syncthing local storage with content description of images as shown in the screen capture. I left…

Offline AI Image Captioning
Have been recently exploring Hugging Face AI models as a viable option to provide offline AI image captioning to my new hybrid cloud storage, based on Syncthing, I mentioned before. I’ve found its performance pretty awesome considering that it’s running on a local Raspberry Pi environment using a tiny ARM microprocessor. See below image to…

Why Do I love Open Hardware?
I’m sure most of you went through many laptops as your workload requirements overwhelm them one by one, and like myself, creating in the process a long trail of e-waste. Even when switching to Linux to give those laptops some extra years, somehow they just fail due to simple mechanical issues such as a worn…

Extending PowerFx to Physical World
In my previous two articles I had shown how to run PowerFx on Raspberry Pi and even how to shell script it on Linux. But till then it was quite still limited to its existing functions that came with it, which although great, doesn’t do much when it comes to actually use Raspberry Pi and…
