American Startup Unveils World's Smallest AI Supercomputer, "Tiiny AI Pocket Lab"
A US-based startup specializing in cutting-edge technologies has recently launched the "Tiiny AI Pocket Lab", a device that has been awarded the title of the world's smallest AI supercomputer by the Guinness World Records.
Development and Capabilities
Developed by Tiiny AI, this 300-gram device is capable of running extended language models (LLM) with up to 120 billion parameters locally. Its unique feature lies in its ability to function without a cloud connection and without relying on traditional graphics processing units (GPUs).
Power, Autonomy, and Privacy
Through this innovation, the company aims to democratize the use of advanced AI while freeing itself from cloud data centers. The device offers computing power comparable to that of certain supercomputers, while significantly reducing energy consumption and privacy risks. Launched on December 10, the "AI Pocket Lab" presents itself as a concrete solution to the challenges of sustainability and high energy costs of traditional AI infrastructure.
Statement from Tiiny AI
Samar Booge, Marketing and Sales Director of the company, stated in a press release: "Cloud-based AI has made great progress, but it has created challenges in terms of security and sustainability. With the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, we are convinced that AI should be within everyone's reach."
A Versatile Tool for Professionals and Students
Designed to meet the needs of personal AI use, the device is aimed at creators, developers, researchers, and students. It enables:
- Multi-step reasoning
- In-depth context understanding
- Client workflow management
- Content creation and secure processing of sensitive data, all offline
Data Storage and Security
Finally, the device stores user data and documents locally with bank-level encryption, offering total privacy and long-term memory superior to cloud-based systems.
