The Phi Cookbook is a collection of hands-on resources and practical examples designed to help developers work with Microsoft's Phi series of small language models (SLMs). Unlike massive, resource-heavy generative AI models, these lightweight models are optimized for efficiency, making them suitable for deployment on laptops, mobile phones, or edge devices. The repository offers a structured learning path through various scenarios including text generation, coding, reasoning, and even audio/image applications, supporting multiple languages to ensure global accessibility.

ESP-Claw is an AI agent framework by Espressif that enables ESP32 series chips to function as active decision-making centers rather than passive executors. It implements a full intelligence loop involving sensing, reasoning, and execution locally on edge hardware. Through conversational programming via chat interfaces, users can define device behaviors using dynamic Lua loading without traditional coding expertise.

The Metis M.2 card is a high-performance AI inference accelerator designed for constrained, small-footprint devices. Powered by a single quad-core Metis AIPU, it enables state-of-the-art AI capabilities including multi-camera inference and support for multiple independent parallel neural networks. The card offers seamless integration via the Voyager SDK and maintains high prediction accuracy through advanced quantization tools.
MimiClaw turns a tiny ESP32-S3 board into a personal AI assistant. It's a local-first, portable, privacy-first AI that runs on a $5 chip without requiring Linux, Node.js, or a server. It supports Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (GPT) and stores all data locally.
M5Stack has launched the AI-88502 LLM Accelerator M.2 Kit, based on the LLM-8850 M.2 card with a 24 TOPS Axera AX8850 SoC, offering an alternative to the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 for LLM and AI vision workloads.
The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super is highlighted as a compact, powerful computing solution for edge AI applications. It enables sophisticated AI capabilities at the edge, supporting large-scale inference tasks with the help of high-capacity storage solutions like the Solidigm 122.88TB SSD. This review explores its use in various applications including wildlife conservation, surveillance, and AI model distribution, emphasizing its potential in real-world deployments.
