- Tiny desktop system claims massive language model performance at dramatically lower costs
- Proprietary G≡LIX 1 chip delivers 700 TOPS for local AI workloads
- Agent Box runs advanced AI models entirely without relying on cloud services
Singapore-based startup Acrab has unveiled the Agent Box, a mini PC built to run 100 billion parameter language models entirely on local hardware.
The device is powered by a proprietary chip called G≡LIX 1, manufactured using a 5nm process for efficient edge computing.
Acrab claims the system delivers performance close to Nvidia's $5,000 DGX Spark while cutting costs to roughly one-fifth and halving power consumption.
A custom chip built for local AI workloads
The G≡LIX 1 processor combines a 20-core Arm CPU, a GPU rated at 3 TFLOPS, and a multicore neural processing unit tuned specifically for large language model inference.
It draws on 273GB/s of high-bandwidth unified memory alongside an 8MB L1 cache...
