Meet the world's smallest AI supercomputer — it packs 'doctorate-level intelligence', its makers say, and can fit into your pocket

The Tiiny AI being held by a man and placed into his pocket.

A U.S. startup has developed what it claims is the world’s smallest artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer. Packed with high-performance hardware and plenty of RAM, company representatives say it can run "Ph.D. intelligence" AI models — despite being compact enough to tuck into your pocket. This means they're capable of autonomous problem solving, abstract reasoning and strategic planning.

The "AI Pocket Lab," as its creators at Tiiny AI have branded the device, is capable of running a complex 120-billion-parameter large language model (LLM) locally, without any reliance on internet connectivity. You would ordinarily need data-center-class infrastructure to run these systems, and it opens up the possibility of local expert-level coding capabilities, document assessment and refinement, or multi-step reasoning.
