# ashleygierisch/ESP32-AI > Running a 28.9M-parameter language model directly on an $8 ESP32-S3 microcontroller: text is generated on-chip with no server connection, at about 9.5 tokens per second. - Magnitude: 0.0 out of 10 — Quiet - Stars: 33 total · +0 stars on 2026-09-25 (UTC) - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: Python · License: MIT · Created: 2026-09-09 · Last push: 2026-09-09 - GitHub: https://github.com/ashleygierisch/ESP32-AI · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/ashleygierisch/ESP32-AI ## Useful for - Build a standalone device that generates short stories on a screen without internet - Study the Per-Layer Embeddings method for fitting a large model into microcontroller flash - Reproduce training and quantization on TinyStories using the code in src/ and experiments/ ## Why it’s here - The repository is 16 days old and already has 33 stars. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 0 - Issues and pull requests: 0 - Watchers: 0 - Average over the last week: 0 per day - Usual pace: 2 per day ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-09-30 … 2026-10-29: None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None ## Magnitude by day, last 12 days 09-14 0.0, 09-15 0.0, 09-16 0.0, 09-17 0.0, 09-18 0.0, 09-19 0.0, 09-20 0.0, 09-21 0.0, 09-22 0.0, 09-23 0.0, 09-24 0.0, 09-25 0.0 --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
