Raspberry Pi 5 + AI HAT+ 2 / Qwen2.5 1.5B
Can a Raspberry Pi 5 + AI HAT+ 2 run Qwen2.5 1.5B?
Yes, usable but slower than reading speed. Measured generation speed: 4.37–6.82 tok/s across 5 public runs.
Rule of thumb: 10+ tok/s feels like a chat; 4–10 is usable for assistants and automations; under 4 is batch-job territory. Speeds depend on quantization, runtime, context length and cooling. Check each source.
