Deepseek R1 in a Raspberrypi 5
After the releasing of Deepseek r1 model the world of AI changed a bit for how well optimized it is for that reason many tech enthusiasts wanted to test it how it works on a small computer like raspberry pi. Additionally, it is really interesting to run a AI model like Deepseek r1 locally but due to the resource limitation it was always not that impressive to run on a pi but due to the optimization of deepseek r1 it runs quite well. here I tried it with 8b parameters because 14b one requires more that 10GB ram which is not present in my device I am using a Raspberry pi 8GB model

now wait a few minutes (speed may vary according to your internet speed). Also make sure you have a good cooling system for your pi since it will push your pi to it's limit while having a conversation.
