How fast is #gemma3 270M out of the box on a @raspberrypi.com 5? About 30 tok/s on CPU for the Q4_0 model using #ollama. Tried using #llamacpp, got about 32 tok/s. 🤯

Extremely promising for edge compute with no accelerator! Model is only ~250Mb on disk. Can't wait to fine-tune for my IoT projects 👨‍💻
