CES 2026: Meet Tiiny AI, a pocket-sized AI supercomputer

Unsurprisingly, AI is everywhere at CES 2026 and often comes in the form of wearables.

However, AI PCs, computers designed to handle all kinds of large-scale language models (LLMs) also have time at CES.

One of those products that made its debut at CES, Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, has created an AI supercomputer that is not only a wearable, but so small that you can fit it in your pocket.

Tiiny AI’s AI computer, called Tiiny AI Pocket Lab or Tiiny for short, was shown to the media for the first time at the Pepcom event at CES this week. Mashable was able to get hands on and try out Tiiny’s abilities and see just how small they are.

The first thing we noticed at the Tiiny AI booth was its Guinness World Records certificate naming the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab “the smallest PC in the world.”

At first glance, Tiiny AI can be confused with a portable power bank. It is rectangular and looks a bit like a brick. It is so small that it fits in the palm of your hand. It is also extremely bright.

Also, we’re talking about a computer here. Tiiny AI managed to pack in 80GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage into this tiny device so it can really handle some serious AI processing.

Why would you need a high performance PC for AI? Tiiny AI does all of its AI processing right on the device. Nothing leaves this great computer. If you have privacy and don’t want all your data uploaded to the cloud or don’t want to pay for some extra subscriptions, AI computing is what you want. Tiiny AI wants to provide the most portable solution.

Tiiny AI has also created a compatible desktop app to work with Tiiny so you don’t have to be an AI developer or programmer to know how to use AI models on your device. The Tiiny app provides easy access to many different models, including generative AI models that create images and videos.

Testing the capabilities of Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, it responded quickly to information and generated content as quickly, if not faster, than many popular AI cloud services. The little machine I used lasted all day and, amazingly, didn’t heat up at all. It wasn’t that warm. This is interesting because a common feature of full-sized AI PCs is the ability to handle the high temperatures these computers can reach due to AI processing. For a small computer to be able to pull this off is pretty amazing.

The Tiiny AI Pocket Lab will be launched on Kickstarter within the next few months and will retail for $1,399 – quite expensive for a small computer, but in the affordable range when it comes to AI computers.
