George Hotz's company, tiny corp, has launched the tinybox, a $15,000 personal AI computer designed for local model training and inference. The tinybox boasts 738 FP16 TFLOPS and 144 GB of GPU RAM, capable of running a 65B LLaMA model out of the box. Hotz's approach with the tinygrad framework emphasizes a RISC philosophy for efficiency and avoids Turing-complete kernels, aiming to compete with established players like NVIDIA by focusing on developer experience and optimizing for off-the-shelf hardware.
