74% RAM cut for SmolLM2 on Galaxy Watch
💡Run 360M LLM on 380MB watch RAM – game-changer for edge inference
⚡ 30-Second TL;DR
What Changed
74% RAM reduction: 524MB to 142MB on 380MB device
Why It Matters
Enables ultra-low-resource LLM inference on wearables, expanding edge AI applications. Potential upstream PR to main llama.cpp repo could benefit broader embedded deployments.
What To Do Next
Clone the axon-dev branch from Perinban/llama.cpp and test on low-RAM Android devices.
Key Points
- •74% RAM reduction: 524MB to 142MB on 380MB device
- •Boot time improved: first 19s to 11s, second ~2.5s
- •Fix via host_ptr and mmap for CPU tensors; Vulkan tensors copied
- •Code at github.com/Perinban/llama.cpp tree axon-dev
