Building KRXY — Part 6: Two Raspberry Pis, One Network — What Actually Gets Faster?
28–29 October 2026: adding a CPU-only node, measuring parallel inference, tracking thermal limits and learning why two workers do not make one answer faster.
KRXY
A development journal for KRXY, an experiment in whether inexpensive Raspberry Pi nodes can form a decentralised AI network. Posts follow the work in order: the original plan, the hardware, what gets built, what fails, and what is actually measured.
