Contributing to the Tachyon Project on Kickstarter
I have recently decided to contribute to the Tachyon project on Kickstarter. This initiative has particularly caught my attention, and I want to share some details and the reason for my interest in this single-board computer (SBC) that promises truly innovative features.
My Previous Experience
Despite having had a somewhat disappointing experience with the Rabbit R1, which ultimately did not meet my expectations, when I discovered Tachyon I decided to give it a chance. This SBC with a format similar to the Raspberry Pi has the potential to reach up to 12 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), which is impressive.
Why Tachyon?
What has attracted me most to Tachyon is its ability to run small language models (SLM). My main goal is to use it for very specific edge-AI tasks. Being able to run smaller AI models on the edge rather than depending on cloud services can offer significant advantages in terms of latency, security, and operational costs.
Promising Features
The promise of Tachyon includes:
- 5G Connectivity: This can revolutionize the way devices connect and communicate in real time.
- AI Accelerator: The inclusion of a dedicated artificial intelligence accelerator is a strong point for those looking to run AI models directly on the device.
- Compactness and Power: The device’s format, similar to a Raspberry Pi, makes it perfect for a wide variety of projects.
The Wait Until 2025
Of course, we will have to wait until 2025 to see how all these amazing promises materialize. Technology advances quickly, and I am excited to see how this high-capacity SBC can change the game for edge computing.
I hope I have piqued your interest in this exciting technology. Don’t hesitate to follow my journey with Tachyon and more future updates!
