Running a full AI assistant locally on a Raspberry Pi 5 is now practical and nearly free. Using a tool called Ollama, the Pi 5's 8GB model can run small language models like Llama 3.2-3B, handling tasks like coding, email management, and even deploying live websites, all without sending data to outside servers. Compared to spending $40-60 monthly on cloud AI, the Pi costs about $1 per month in electricity.
