Cactus Compute released it August 10 under Apache 2.0: 28 MB peak session RAM, 70 MFLOPs per token via CQ2-bit compression, 800+ tok/s prefill and 500+ decode on a Raspberry Pi 5. Targets span Cortex-M microcontrollers through x86 and WebAssembly. The honest limits are published too: on the 961-row Mobile Actions benchmark it hits 98.3% function-name accuracy but 71.3% single-call and only 48.4% two-call. Single-shot tool dispatch on hardware where nothing else fits, not multi-step reasoning.
