Tiny World Model and RL Agent Run on Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W
- Utilized looped transformer weight reuse to compress world models to a scale runnable on microcontrollers
- Implemented a closed-loop system where a 'generator' (predicting next frames) and an 'actor' (selecting actions) work in tandem
- Validated the feasibility of real-time neural inference on low-cost hardware (Pico 2 W) equipped with an FPU
