HONG KONG, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tiiny AI Inc. (www.tiiny.ai), a US deep-tech AI startup, today unveiled the world’s smallest personal AI supercomputer, the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, officially verified by Guinness World Records under the category “The Smallest MiniPC (100B LLM Locally).”

The event marked the first global public unveiling of the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab. For the first time in AI supercomputing, a pocket-sized device is capable of running up-to a full 120-billion-parameter large language model (LLM) entirely on-device — without cloud connectivity, servers, or high-end GPUs.
Designed for energy-efficient personal intelligence, Tiiny AI Pocket Lab runs within a 65W power envelope. It can enable large-model performance at a fraction of the energy and carbon footprint of traditional GPU-based systems.
The device represents a major shift in the trajectory of the AI industry. As cloud-based AI increasingly struggles with sustainability concerns, rising energy costs, global outages, the prohibitive costs of long-context processing, and growing privacy risks, Tiiny AI introduces an alternative model centered on personal, portable, and fully private intelligence. According to Tiiny AI, the real bottleneck in today’s AI ecosystem “is not computing power — it is dependence on the cloud.”
“Cloud AI has brought remarkable progress, but it also created dependency, vulnerability, and sustainability challenges,” said Samar Bhoj, GTM Director of Tiiny AI. “With Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, we believe intelligence shouldn’t belong to data centers, but to people. This is the first step toward making advanced AI truly accessible, private, and personal, by bringing the power of large models from the cloud to every individual device.”
Tiiny AI Pocket Lab is designed to support nearly all major personal AI use cases, serving developers, researchers, creators, professionals, and students. It enables multi-step reasoning, deep context understanding, agent workflows, content generation, and secure processing of sensitive information — even without internet access. The device also provides true long-term personal memory by storing user data, preferences, and documents locally with bank-level encryption, offering a level of privacy and persistence that cloud-based AI systems cannot provide.
Crucially, Tiiny AI Pocket Lab operates in the ‘golden zone’ of personal AI (10B–100B parameters), which satisfies over 80% of real-world needs. Going further, it supports models scaling up to 120B LLM, delivering intelligence levels comparable to GPT-4o. This enables PhD-level reasoning, multi-step analysis, and deep contextual understanding — but with the security of fully offline, on-device processing.
The announcement comes as the global LLM market is entering a period of rapid expansion. According to Grand View Research, the global LLM market size was estimated at USD 7.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 35.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 36.9% from 2025 to 2030. It is driven by advances in self-supervised learning, domain-specific model development, and rising enterprise adoption across sectors including retail, e-commerce, healthcare, and media.
Tiiny AI Pocket Lab is powered by two core technology breakthroughs that make large-parameter models viable on a compact device. TurboSparse, a neuron-level sparse activation technique, significantly improves inference efficiency while maintaining full model intelligence. PowerInfer, an open-source heterogeneous inference engine with more than 8,000 GitHub stars, accelerates heavy LLM workloads dynamically distributing computation across CPU and NPU, enabling sever-grade performance at a fraction of traditional power consumption. Together, these technologies allow Tiiny AI Pocket Lab to deliver capabilities that previously required professional GPUs costing thousands of dollars.

Users receive continuous updates, including official OTA hardware upgrades. The above features will be released at CES in January 2026.
Formed in 2024, the team brings together global engineers from MIT, Stanford, HKUST, SJTU, Intel, and Meta, with deep expertise in systems engineering, AI inference optimization, and hardware–software co-design. Their research has been published in premier academic conferences including SOSP, OSDI, ASPLOS, and EuroSys. In 2025, Tiiny AI secured a multi-million dollar seed round from leading global investors.
