I wanted a simple way to experiment with local inference, distributed services, and observability without building a lot of custom infrastructure first.

Goals

  • Use hardware I had laying around
  • Server the model on my local network
  • Use any AI harness I wanted

Current stack

  • llama.cpp (build from source)
  • Pi.dev (AI harness)
  • 3 Raspberry Pi 5 + 3 PoE Hats + 4-Port 2Gbps Network Switch
  • 1 2TB SATA Drive

Next steps
