Local LLM on a Pi 4 controlling hardware via tool calling

AI Analysis
●●SolidNiche GemCozy
Bonsai 1-bit models make Pi 4 LLMs viable where Ollama usually chokes.
Strengths
- •1-bit quantization fits 0.25GB models into 4GB RAM comfortably.
- •LRU model eviction prevents crashes when switching between 1.7B and 4B.
- •Caddy reverse proxy handles HTTPS and LAN access out of the box.
Weaknesses
- •Pi 4 inference speed will still be painfully slow for interactive chat.
- •Relies entirely on PrismML Bonsai models; no support for standard GGUF yet.
