Flippermind-lite Release

If you are like me and use AI often to help with complicated tasks and own a Flipper Zero, you might want a Super Tiny Language Model (STLM).

Why this is useful

Until now, there have been no language models small enough to run on a small device, such as a Flipper Zero. Flippermind relies on lightweight Python3 installs and a local connection to Qwen2.5-0.5B. Although this is configured for Flipper Zero, you can run it on other small machines like a Raspberry Pi.

Challenges

Throughout development, I found errors within the language model not loading. PyTorch and Python3 transformers are used to run the Python3 dependencies, and they would not run on Debian Linux distros. I fixed the install.sh to run on any OS.

How it works

There are a couple main components that make this function. The main function is the qwen_2_5_ask.py script located in tools/. This is script runs the language model when asked a question.


Example:

python3 qwen_2_5_ask.py "Hello world"

The install.sh file located in main works as the installer for the model.


You run it using:

bash install.sh

You can download it on the GitHub repo linked below.

Suggestion:

"What do you guys think? Any ideas? I'm curious if anyone has successfully run other quantized models on hardware with this little RAM—let me know in the comments!"
