so that torture focus probably needs some care in other news i was looking at pine64 and they have an AI agent product now. i think it just runs deepseek 7b on an embedded arm chip, but they setup heatsinking and preconfigured the model in theory https://pine64.com/product/alpha-one-7b-llm-agentic-generative-ai-agent/
of course like all pine64 products it's out of stock they say it's based on their starpro at https://pine64.com/product/starpro64-32gb-single-board-computer/ which of course is also out of stock this board is risc-v. "powered by an ESWin EIC7700X 1.8GHz Quad-Core SiFive P550 64-Bit Processor with IMG AXM-8-256 3D GPU and 20TOPS NPU (INT8). The STARPro64 is equipped with 32GB LPDDR5 system memory". "PCIe Gen3.0 x4 open ended slot". somebody did a lot of engineering work resulting in deepseek actually running on this now it sounds like. it looks similar to a normal single board computer in form factor, although with some observing there is a PCI slot sticking out of it opposite the GPIO pins. [... [so how did they get deepseek running on this thing? the page on it has a link to their OS image ...
