Tiiny AI Debuts Guinness-Verified Pocket Lab, a Pocket AI Computer Claimed to Run 120B LLMs Offline

Independent third‑party benchmarks have not been published.

Overview

  • The handheld unit is listed by Guinness World Records under “The Smallest MiniPC (100B LLM Locally).”
  • Tiiny AI says the device can run models up to 120 billion parameters entirely on-device, with claimed capability approaching GPT-4o-level reasoning.
  • Core specs include an ARMv9.2 12‑core CPU, a custom SoC with dNPU rated at roughly 190 TOPS, 80GB LPDDR5X, a 1TB SSD, about 65W typical system power, and a 14.2 × 8 × 2.53 cm, ~300g form factor.
  • The company credits TurboSparse together with its open‑source PowerInfer engine for distributing LLM workloads across the CPU and NPU to enable offline inference.
  • Positioned for privacy-focused use, the device stores data locally with encryption and supports one‑click deployment of models like Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek, and Phi, with public demos planned for CES in January 2026.
