It seems like many of the TinyML use cases are hidden or somewhat dull, making it difficult to get people excited about it. Do you think there are ways to make TinyML more exciting and appealing to a wider audience? How can we better showcase the potential of TinyML and its ability to bring more privacy to IoT and give everyday products superpowers?

How about just being able to run a home assistant with AI support to reprogram the home assistant, without having to spend a lot more electricity? They don’t have to have superpowers to be useful.

I expect tinyML to be way too tiny for that.

The clear use-case for it is mechanical control and feedback. But it seems that every robot has enough tiny problems that you can justify a larger CPU anyway. I too am having a hard time being excited about it.

My home assistant runs on 5-10W power. Nothing it does requires a lot more electricity than a light bulb.

Does that home assistant have a self-hosted LLM interface that helps you with configuration and setup?
