Can I run BitNet on a Raspberry Pi for edge AI?
Quick Answer
Yes! Pi 5 runs at 8-12 tok/s, suitable for voice commands, IoT classification, and chatbots. Pi 4 works at 3-5 tok/s.
Detailed Answer
Yes! Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB model) can run BitNet 2B at approximately 8-12 tokens/second. This is fast enough for: voice command processing, IoT sensor data classification, simple chatbot responses, and home automation triggers. For a Pi 4, expect slower performance (~3-5 tok/s) but still usable for non-real-time tasks. This makes BitNet ideal for edge AI deployments where cloud connectivity is limited or privacy is critical.
