Hi Anders,
Great work. I too cc it to the bricolist, in the hope we can look closely at this, also in relation to emergency/disaster management as one domain. Let’s get it to more places,
Greetings, Rob

Although it is still prohibitively expensive to build the foundation model that these are based on, for end user applications they can run on hardware that's a fraction of the price of the corporate cloud (e.g. a €1.5k GPU can both infer that "I'm hot" means turn the heating down and do a decent job of spouting general knowledge on a multitude of subjects). I think the era of DIY AI is now upon us :)"

>>> The Bricophone is a community-oriented mobile phone infrastructure in Open Source. It is a low cost, low energy, open hardware, open source project built for communities up to ten thousand people within regional distances. The characteristic of the Bricophone infrastructure is that it does not require any static infrastructure like relays, antennas, or digital data centers. This provides the opportunity for special uses in poor communities, mass rescueing in disastered areas, and cultural and social activities like festivals and other mass events.
