Me and some bots made a small Hiera implementation that is focussed on being single file contained.
I am on and off working on super minimal configuration management for Choria Autonomous Agents and I want a agent focussed on a single app to fetch from a single KV key it self-contained configuration that includes Hiera like overrides.
So this is a step toward that, a tiny small scoped Hiera.

COP30 in Belém: Weltklimakonferenz endet ohne Beschluss zu Exitplan für Kohle, Öl und Gas
Entwicklungsländer hatten höhere Klimahilfen gefordert – und sollen diese nun bekommen. Zu einer Abkehr von fossilen Energien konnte sich die Weltklimakonferenz nicht durchringen. Aber der Verhandlungsprozess geht weiter.

There are as many desk setups as there are users. I chose I chose minimalism.

Well, I ended up with 337 components for my "minimal" STM32MP2 Kintex-7 PCie testbed lol.
I could have simplified a bit if I deleted some of the test points, LEDs, etc but I think this is a reasonable combination of parts.
Let's see if I can actually lay this out on oshpark 4L...

Easy Adaptation: An Efficient Task-Specific Knowledge Injection Method for Large Models in Resource-Constrained Environments

Abstract: While the enormous parameter scale endows Large Models (LMs) with unparalleled performance, it also limits their adaptability across specific tasks. Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has emerged as a critical approach for effectively adapting LMs to a diverse range of downstream tasks. However, existing PEFT methods face two primary challenges: (1) High resource cost. Although PEFT methods significantly reduce resource demands compared to full fine-tuning, it still requires substantial time and memory, making it impractical in resource-constrained environments. (2) Parameter dependency. PEFT methods heavily rely on updating a subset of parameters associated with LMs to incorporate task-specific knowledge. Yet, due to increasing competition in the LMs landscape, many companies have adopted closed-source policies for their leading models, offering access only via Application Programming Interface (APIs). Whereas, the expense is often cost-prohibitive and difficult to sustain, as the fine-tuning process of LMs is extremely slow. Even if small models perform far worse than LMs in general, they can achieve superior results on particular distributions while requiring only minimal resources. Motivated by this insight, we propose Easy Adaptation (EA), which designs Specific Small Models (SSMs) to complement the underfitted data distribution for LMs. Extensive experiments show that EA matches the performance of PEFT on diverse tasks without accessing LM parameters, and requires only minimal resources.

Ok sooo... How minimal do i want to make this stm32mp2 fpga test board?
I'm tempted to go bare bones, no ddr, minimal bom, entirely from parts i have on the shelf to keep costs down.
On one hand it'll be a waste of potential, on the other hand I have plenty of "real" projects coming up and the main goal is to de-risk them. I'm probably never going to use the ddr and it'll increase layout complexity a lot.
