Tiiny AI Pocket Lab: The World’s Smallest Mini Supercomputer Launches Soon with a Powerful 12-Core Arm CPU!
USA-based startup company ‘Tiiny AI’ has launched the world’s first smallest mini AI supercomputer, ‘Pocket Lab’. The special thing is that its size is just like a small power bank. This tiny machine has been specially designed for personal AI developers, researchers, creators, professionals, and students. You can perform multistep reasoning, deep context understanding, and content generation securely on it, and the special thing is, it works without any internet connection.

Design:
This AI pocket lab is so small that you can compare it to a small power bank. Its dimensions are 5.6 x 3.15 x 1 inches (14.2 × 8 × 2.53 cm), and it weighs only 300 grams. On the top side, you’ll find the Tiiny branding. Next to the power button, there’s a power LED, Mic and it’s possible that the power button also includes a built-in fingerprint scanner. Its design seems inspired by nothing, as it features a very minimalist look.
Performance:
When it comes to the CPU, Tiiny’s AI New AI Pocket Lab features a new ARM v9.2-based 12-core powerful CPU. This allows this tiny AI supercomputer to run large language models (LLMs) with up to 120 billion parameters locally, without any cloud connectivity, internet, servers, or high-end GPUs. Notably, the ARM v9.2 processor used in this device provides 190 TOPS (Tera-Operations Per Second) of computing power, combining 30 TOPS from the CPU, integrated GPU, and integrated NPU (INPU) with the power of a 160 TOPS dedicated NPU (dNPU). which is why this small, mini AI supercomputer has earned so much attention.

Memory Storage:
When it comes to memory, the AI Pocket Lab features 80 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory, of which 48 GB of RAM is reserved specifically for the NPU. 32 GB For CPU DRAM, Looking at storage, you get a 1 TB M.2 Gen 4 2230 NVMe drive, which you might even be able to expand.
