Raspberry Pi 5 / Granite 3.1 Dense 2B
Can a Raspberry Pi 5 run Granite 3.1 Dense 2B?
Yes, usable but slower than reading speed. Measured generation speed: 5.81 tok/s across 1 public run.
Rule of thumb: 10+ tok/s feels like a chat; 4–10 is usable for assistants and automations; under 4 is batch-job territory. Speeds depend on quantization, runtime, context length and cooling. Check each source.
