in a similar vein, somebody got tinystories LLM running on the nintendo wii, including gpu acceleration [0].

Recently I started this open source project at my AI company, where I'm trying to make LLMs working

Now Reached 16B models running on iPad Air 1st gen and xiaomi tv box, both have less than 1GB of usable memory, and reached some decent speeds given the hardware.

I'm open sourcing the effort done, kernels developed and results for everyone to re-produce and push more, also the modified models are on hugging face : https://huggingface.co/hyperionaidev

I want a more challenging device, what do you think?

This is really cool man. I like this on going trend of resurrecting old tech with AI and this is yet another avenue to explore.

I'd be interested in seeing some older flag ship mobile devices

This is great. I've recently been playing with repurposing some old thin clients as homelab Linux machines

Not my site, but same idea: https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/

All this old/obsolete gear is plenty capable when used with the right software.
