all of it. I'm not using anything outside of my own local area network.

    I use the Kaico DSpico Flashcart and on the RPi Zero 2W I use a bash script (because I don't want to host it permanently) with hostapd, iw, dnsmasq, socat, and iproute2. For HTTP and JSON I use my own implementation, no library. The rest is documented in the post.

    Which LLM are you running and what are you running it on?

    This is the model:

    {
      "data" : [
        {
          "context_window" : 4096,
          "created" : 1719792000,
          "id" : "apple-foundationmodel",
          "notes" : "Apple on-device model via FoundationModels framework. Unsupported parameters are rejected with 400 when present (except n=1 and logprobs=false). Supported languages: it, zh, fr, en, nb, fr, da, es, es, es, vi, zh, de, pt, tr, en, zh, sv, nl, ja, en, ko, pt",
          "object" : "model",
          "owned_by" : "apple",
          "supported_parameters" : [
            "temperature",
            "max_tokens",
            "seed",
            "stream",
            "tools",
            "tool_choice",
            "response_format",
            "x_context_strategy",
            "x_context_max_turns",
            "x_context_output_reserve"
          ],
          "unsupported_parameters" : [
            "logprobs",
            "n",
            "stop",
            "presence_penalty",
            "frequency_penalty"
          ]
        }
      ],
      "object" : "list"
    }
    

    and I'm running it on a MacBook Air M4 16 GB. "Apfel" (the CLI tool) is kinda a wrapper around it and exposes an OpenAI compatible API.

    Do I understand correctly that what you've made is a DSLite client to chat with the apple included model on your laptop?

    Exactly, yes. And I use the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W as a WiFi AP (RPi is connected to my home network and to my DS Lite) because the Nintendo DS Lite only supports WEP encryption. So that the DS Lite is able able to send requests to my inference on the MacBook Air

    That's a really neat and fun project!

    I have a back DSLite that I got the new OS cart for and I've been having fun loading it up with emulators and my favorite games from the past. I love how there is such a vibrant community around DSLite hacking.

    You should certainly keep doing projects like this and sharing them. I'm glad you shared it because I love hacking projects. However for me this is not on topic for selfhosting even if it is still a very cool project.

    Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments. It means a lot to me. :)

    The only reason why I did this project was because someone showed up in my feed with a post about a DS Lite hack. We're all inspiring each other haha :D

    However for me this is not on topic for selfhosting

    I'm always struggling to find the right community for posting. Which place would be the best?

    The first place to jumps to mind for me is https://hackaday.com/ and if there is a Threadiverse comm for these kinds of projects I would also like to find it.
