Tried Running Qwen3 0.6B on Raspberry Pi 5!

👀 Tried running Qwen3 0.6B on Raspberry Pi 5! Fast and smooth with .gguf version!

As a little weekend experiment, I tried running Qwen3 0.6B (.gguf version) on my Raspberry Pi 5.

The result?
Surprisingly fast and smooth — I’m genuinely impressed!

Here’s the model I used 👉 https://huggingface.co/ggml-org/Qwen3-0.6B-GGUF

🚀 What I did

  • Set up Qwen3 0.6B (.gguf version) on Raspberry Pi 5.
  • Ran some inference tests to check speed and responsiveness.
  • Tested with simple prompts to see how well it performs.

👀 Impressions

  • 🟢 Thanks to the .gguf version, it ran very smoothly.
  • 🟢 More than usable speed for local inference.
  • 🟢 Looks very promising for local AI and edge AI scenarios.

🎯 Next steps

  • Explore more ways to utilize it as a local AI.
  • Try building a fully standalone AI assistant running only on Raspberry Pi!

It’s amazing to see AI running so well even on small devices like this.
I’ll keep experimenting — stay tuned for more updates! 🚀✨
