Raspberry Pi 5 / Llama 3.2 1B
Can a Raspberry Pi 5 run Llama 3.2 1B?
Yes, at a comfortable chat speed. Measured generation speed: 0.39–11.22 tok/s across 3 public runs.
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.
