This research demonstrates how quantization techniques enable efficient LLM deployment on devices as small as Raspberry Pi, making advanced AI accessible at the edge.

• Leverages k-quantization (Post-Training Quantization) to reduce computational demands
• Supports multiple bit-widths (2-bit, 4-bit, 6-bit) for flexible performance trade-offs
• Achieves significant improvements in throughput and energy efficiency
• Enhances data privacy by enabling local processing without cloud dependencies

For engineering teams, this breakthrough enables embedding sophisticated AI capabilities directly into resource-limited IoT devices, industrial sensors, and consumer products without requiring constant cloud connectivity.
