Ling 3.0 Tiny brings edge intelligence to old laptops
A user reports running the 8B-parameter (1B active) Ling 3.0 Tiny model via llama.cpp on a 2017 i5 laptop with 8GB RAM and no GPU, achieving about 10 tokens per second and iteratively writing a network-scan script. The author sees this as a new beginning for edge intelligence, enabling old devices to perform intelligent tasks without new compute.
