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?
