Small language models (SLMs) have crossed an important threshold: models like SmolLM2-135M , Qwen 2.5 0.5B , and **Llama 3.2 1B **deliver competent local reasoning inside a 400MB to 1.5GB memory footprint. Yet, trying to deploy these models on single-board computers (SBCs) like the Raspberry Pi 4 o…
