Inference

🔴 Why bother running AI at home? Fair question, right? Why run AI at home at all? And actually, let’s back up further: what even is AI? What is AI? According to Wikipedia: Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making. In short, AI means using mathematical functions and operations to automate and speed up complex tasks by reproducing human behaviors like reading, seeing, writing, or understanding language. Thanks to these calculations, machines can learn to recognize images, understand text, make decisions, or even generate content — often faster and sometimes better than we can (though honestly, that’s debatable). ...

🎯 Why This Project? At first, I thought the Hailo‑8L was some kind of magic chip — the kind where you could run LLMs, use it as a backend device for frameworks like Tensorflow, train models on it, all of it. Spoiler: absolutely not. Digging in a bit, I understood that the Hailo‑8L is built exclusively for inference, not training, and definitely not [Reinforcement Learning] or any kind of LLM business. ...
