Developer runs Qwen 35B model on Raspberry Pi 5 for offline car assistant CarWatch
A hobbyist built CarWatch, a system that puts a Raspberry Pi 5 in a car running a 35-billion-parameter Qwen model locally, no internet or subscription required. It joins chat rooms as an AI agent, sending trip summaries, dashcam clips, and answers sourced from the car's 745-page owner's manual, and also supports hands-free voice queries via on-device speech recognition.
