The 30B Raspberry Pi Breakthrough That Flips GPU Optimization on Its Head

Recent advances in quantization and kernel optimization are enabling 30B-parameter models to run on Raspberry Pi devices, but the real story is how they expose a fundamental flaw in our understanding of model compression: fewer bits doesn’t always mean faster inference.
