Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
A Raspberry Pi can run an AI assistant like OpenClaw, but it is only practical when paired with a cloud-based LLM. Running it fully locally is generally too slow for real-world use on typical Raspberry Pi hardware. The article explores the feasibility of running AI assistants on low-cost single-board computers.
