Because everything stays local and latency is tiny, even modest always-on devices can contribute. A few Raspberry Pi 5s, old mini-PCs, or stronger IoT-style boards can each hold and run a handful of experts. The protocol doesn’t care if the peer is a big GPU or a small ARM box, as long as it can load the expert weights and do the matmul. Pure busybox-class sensors are usually too limited in RAM and compute for current MoE experts, but the broader “every half-decent always-on box in the house joins the swarm” vision works well and keeps everything private inside your LAN.
