Haha :-) Currently 46 down votes ONLY because the letters ‘AI’ were in the headline ! This coping trend is gonna be a shitshow - pull out your popcorn machines/3D glasses, and buckle up !
Downvoted because it’s an ad for a stupid, gimmicky and pricey product that relies on proprietary software to work.
At least the trend of putting “AI” in product names should stop.
It is a device made specifically for AI. What else should they call it?
Aside from Slopmachine.
Nope, I downvoted because you can get a hat for a raspberry pi that lets you do ai crap and is much smaller than that.
Reads like an advert, more than journalism, that’s why it gets my downvote.
I can totally believe that nobody else felt like
bribingpaying out of their nose to have a Guinness employee fly over and look at a small computer and go “yep its small”.Doesn’t look much smaller than a raspberrypi either…
I think Raspberry Pi is in the class of SBC (Single Board Computers). This is a PC, apparently. Apples and oranges.
The raspberrypi was originally marketed as a linux pc, and that’s why it had full size usb A ports, Ethernet, hdmi etc. so you could connect mouse, keyboard, a monitor and network.
People eventually figured it’s very useful as a board to make other things like IoT, robots and other hobby (and professional) projects.
it’s larger than one, also likely larger than nvidia Jetson and some firewalls out there. The record is for the smallest PC capable of running a 100B model LLM locally.
The specs are impressive tbh, but the record is a bit… specific
For all of you that downvoted because “AI”, let’s be clear, this guy does all the processing locally, not in the cloud, so it’s a privacy friendly option:
Tiiny AI does all of its AI processing right on the device. Nothing leaves this mini supercomputer. If you’re privacy-minded and don’t want all of your data uploaded to the cloud or just don’t want to pay for any more subscriptions, an AI computer is what you want.
I’m actually quite interested in this. I hate when AI is shoved down my throat, or if it runs in “the cloud” out of my control, but this would be fully under my control.
My only concern is whether I can run my own OS (i.e. linux) or if I’m locked to theirs.
Using self hosted AI doesn’t use any more energy than playing a game, too. Unless you have a cluster at home or something.
Even then, which is much better than the cloud models, most people seem to be as Dell said. They are not buying AI.
Guinness World Records says is the smallest
Wut?
Fuck “AI”
Seeing all the CES coverage and the fact that Micron had a booth there makes me wonder how many products shown off will never launch because they have no market with current memory prices.
Oh look, e-waste straight from the factory
Ha, stupid crap.
