Turn text input into actions with Needle, a 14MB function-calling LLM

Needle is a compact 14MB function-calling model designed to execute local actions on a Raspberry Pi 5 using only its CPU, without needing any extra hardware. Developed by Cactus Compute, Needle is not a chatbot; it specifically focuses on converting plain English commands into structured actions. For example, you can simply type "Turn the LED on," and within 78 milliseconds, the LED will light up.
