Tiiny AI Inc. announced that its Tiiny AI Pocket Lab surpassed $1 million in Kickstarter pledges within five hours of its March 11, 2026 launch. The device supports up to 120 billion parameter models locally, requiring no internet or high-end GPU, and features one-click deployment with zero token fees.

This launch reflects demand for 'AgentBox', which represents a shift from cloud AI to edge-cloud synergy, allowing local execution of AI workflows. In the first five hours, the campaign reached $1,009,664 from 728 backers, primarily from the United States. Tiiny AI emphasizes local-first security and control, with plans for model conversion tools to enhance ecosystem openness.
