CarWatch Hit 143 Points on Hacker News Running a Local Qwen Model on a Raspberry Pi 5 in a Car
Hacker News·low signal
ThinkOffApp/CarWatch, created 2026-08-09 and now at 171 stars, reached 143 points on Hacker News on August 25 for turning a Raspberry Pi 5 plus a dashcam into a chat-room agent for your vehicle, running the model fully locally. It is described as the garage sibling of the same author's CodeWatch project and was pushed again this morning. Small numbers, but it is a concrete answer to what a genuinely offline embedded agent costs in hardware, which most on-device claims skip.
