The Bug Report Has a Ghost: Local Gemma Meets Arduino UNO Q

An open-source AI challenge inspired a local gemma model to give a physical afterlife to bug reports on GitHub. The Arduino UNO Q, equipped with an LED matrix, scrolls cryptic critiques of each bug report in up to eight words. A FastAPI service monitors the HackerspaceMumbai/bethuya repository for open issues labeled bug, asking the Gemma model for a brief response whenever a new report appears.
When no new bug is detected, the spirit remains dormant until another report arrives. The entire process stays local, with inference and the ghost's manifestation confined to the Arduino UNO Q setup. The project demonstrates how open innovation can bring AI to life in tangible, accessible ways.
