🐟 How to Run DeepSeek R1 on Raspberry Pi 5

DeepSeek R1 can run on the 🍓 Raspberry Pi 5, enabling local AI experimentation without cloud reliance. Setting it up is simple, making it accessible even for beginners. However, running the model on the Pi 5 comes with limitations, requiring creative workarounds for better performance.

Features of this approach:
➡️Optimized distilled LLM for Raspberry Pi 5’s 8GB RAM.
➡️No AI acceleration; external GPU possible via PCIe.
➡️Simple setup using ollama’s installation script.
➡️Much slower than desktop GPUs, with noticeable latency.

This guide is perfect for AI enthusiasts and developers exploring LLMs on low-cost hardware. While the Pi 5 can handle basic tasks, serious AI work requires more powerful setups. Still, it’s an interesting experiment for those curious about running AI on compact devices.
