RaspChat a chat system that can handle thousands of users on basic RPi

In plain words

RaspChat is a chat system designed to run on basic Raspberry Pi hardware while supporting thousands of concurrent users. Launched in 2016, it enables real-time messaging at scale on resource-constrained devices. The platform is suitable for anyone needing a lightweight chat solution that doesn't require high-end server infrastructure, making it practical for community groups, local networks, or educational projects working with limited computing resources.

  Pi-C.A.R.D, a Raspberry Pi Voice Assistant2024 · github.com · ▲344

  Pi-card is an AI powered voice assistant running locally on a Raspberry Pi. It is capable of doing anything a standard LLM (like ChatGPT) can do in a conversational setting. In addition, if there is a camera equipped, you can also ask Pi-card to take a photo, describe what it sees, and then ask questions about that. It uses distributed models so latency is something I'm working on, but I am curious on where this could go, if anywhere. Very much a WIP. Feedback welcome :-)
