Llama Running on a Microcontroller

A "large" language model running on a microcontroller - maxbbraun/llama4micro

Llama Running on a Microcontroller launched on November 15, 2023 with 49 votes, #1,161 of 4,333 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

In plain words

Llama Running on a Microcontroller is an open-source project that enables large language models to run on embedded devices with limited computing power. The project brings AI inference capabilities to microcontrollers, making it possible to deploy language models locally without cloud connectivity. It is designed for developers and engineers working with IoT devices, embedded systems, and resource-constrained hardware who want to incorporate AI functionality into their applications.

    Hi HN A few folks and I have been working on this project for a couple weeks now. After previously working on the Docker project for a number of years (both on the container runtime and image registry side), the recent rise in open source language models made us think something similar needed to exist for large language models too. While not exactly the same as running linux containers, running LLMs shares quite a few of the same challenges. There are "base layers" (e.g. models like Llama 2), specific configuration to run correctly (parameters, temperature, context window sizes etc). There's…

  • Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
