Pamir AI is bringing Plug-and-Play AI to the masses — just like Raspberry Pi did for computing
Remember the Raspberry Pi? That tiny computer the size of a credit card that let millions of people build awesome tech projects at home for just 35 bucks. It was a game changer, bringing high-tech possibilities to everyone’s fingertips. But let’s face it — it’s been over a decade, and nothing quite as impactful has come along since. Well, that might be about to change. There are two guys out there who might just be making the next big thing — a plug-and-play AI module that could become the new favorite tool of developers everywhere.
Meet Kevin and Teni (Pamir AI). They’re not from some multi-billion-dollar tech giant, and they certainly don’t have endless resources. But what they do have is a bold vision: to bring AI development to the masses. Their mission? To create an AI model with over 100 IQ, running on a tiny chip that costs a fraction of the usual price. They saw the complexity of AI and decided it was time to make it accessible. No more high barriers to entry, no more expensive subscriptions — just possibilities within reach for everyone.
Now, you might be thinking, “What’s so special about a small AI chip?” Well, let me break it down for you. On this little chip, they’ve managed to pack in an AI model with 3 billion parameters. These parameters are like the adjustable settings an AI model uses to come up with more accurate results. The cool part? 3 billion is the same number of parameters that the latest Apple intelligence model has. Except Apple has armies of researchers and manufacturing powerhouses. Kevin and Teni don’t. And yet, they’re still making it happen.
Why is this huge? Just a couple of months ago, running an AI model of this complexity on a chip that small seemed impossible. The technology is advancing so quickly that this chip is already surpassing ChatGPT-3.5 — and doing it while consuming only 5 watts of power. Imagine that: a high-powered AI you can bring anywhere, without needing to worry about a hefty energy bill. It’s like having a personal AI genius in your pocket.
But what’s really exciting is what people are already doing with it. The beauty of Kevin and Teni’s AI module is that it lowers the barrier for any developer with a big idea. The module makes it…
