    Espressif's latest ESP32 chip is now capable of running Linux, a milestone for a microcontroller line traditionally limited to real-time operating systems. The development brings the cheap chip's capabilities close to entry-level Raspberry Pi boards, prompting discussion among hobbyists about whether low-cost microcontrollers could soon replace single-board computers in many embedded and DIY projects.

    A new report highlights that microcontrollers, typically limited to simple embedded tasks, can now run both a diffusion model for image generation and a large language model with 289 million parameters. The development points to AI capabilities moving onto low-cost, low-power hardware rather than requiring cloud servers or GPUs, a notable shift for embedded and edge computing.
