Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments. It means a lot to me. :)

The only reason why I did this project was because someone showed up in my feed with a post about a DS Lite hack. We’re all inspiring each other haha :D

However for me this is not on topic for selfhosting

I’m always struggling to find the right community for posting. Which place would be the best?

Exactly, yes. And I use the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W as a WiFi AP (RPi is connected to my home network and to my DS Lite) because the Nintendo DS Lite only supports WEP encryption. So that the DS Lite is able able to send requests to my inference on the MacBook Air

This is the model:

{
  "data" : [
    {
      "context_window" : 4096,
      "created" : 1719792000,
      "id" : "apple-foundationmodel",
      "notes" : "Apple on-device model via FoundationModels framework. Unsupported parameters are rejected with 400 when present (except n=1 and logprobs=false). Supported languages: it, zh, fr, en, nb, fr, da, es, es, es, vi, zh, de, pt, tr, en, zh, sv, nl, ja, en, ko, pt",
      "object" : "model",
      "owned_by" : "apple",
      "supported_parameters" : [
        "temperature",
        "max_tokens",
        "seed",
        "stream",
        "tools",
        "tool_choice",
        "response_format",
        "x_context_strategy",
        "x_context_max_turns",
        "x_context_output_reserve"
      ],
      "unsupported_parameters" : [
        "logprobs",
        "n",
        "stop",
        "presence_penalty",
        "frequency_penalty"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "object" : "list"
}

and I’m running it on a MacBook Air M4 16 GB. “Apfel” (the CLI tool) is kinda a wrapper around it and exposes an OpenAI compatible API.

That’s really cool!

I use the Kaico DSpico Flashcart and on the RPi Zero 2W I use a bash script (because I don’t want to host it permanently) with hostapd, iw, dnsmasq, socat, and iproute2. For HTTP and JSON I use my own implementation, no library. The rest is documented in the post.

Did some experiments with my DS Lite and ended up with this. Using DevkitPro libs (libnds, dswifi, calico). Apfel on macOS and a wifi (WEP) bridge running on a RPi Zero 2W. 🖤

Thank you, you know these days small things make me happy

all of it. I’m not using anything outside of my own local area network.

Uhm, I figured out that people don’t like it. However, for me, it was a nice little project and it brightened my day.

Thank you, this is an amazing project. I found something interesting in the source (I found the fresh squeezed juice meow.) =)

Please give this hero an upvote.

I was looking into Colmi already but thought maybe knew some hidden gem :)
