World's smallest AI supercomputer
Tiiny AI has just introduced Pocket Lab – the world's smallest personal AI supercomputer, certified by Guinness World Records . This device is about the size of a power bank but promises the power typically found in expensive hardware systems.
The Pocket Lab measures 14.2 × 8 × 2.53 cm, weighs 300g, and supports model development with up to 120 billion parameters. It uses a 12-core ARM v9.2 CPU, combined with a dedicated NPU achieving 190 TOPS, and 80GB of LPDDR5X memory for on-premise large-scale model processing.

While other small supercomputers like NVIDIA Project Digits cost around $3,000 or DGX Spark around $4,000, Pocket Lab is geared towards a more accessible approach, giving users access to powerful AI technology without relying on the cloud.
Pocket Lab promises to be an attractive option for research, robotics, and advanced reasoning tasks. Tiiny AI will showcase its product at CES 2026, and the tech world is eagerly awaiting to see its practical effectiveness when it reaches consumers.
China's core AI industry reaches 1.2 trillion yuan.
According to the China Academy of Information and Industry (CAICT), the size of the country's core artificial intelligence (AI) industry is expected to exceed 1.2 trillion yuan (approximately $170 billion) by 2025. AI is transforming from a stage of technological innovation to one that generates actual productive capacity.

By 2025, large-scale AI models had been significantly upgraded. Language comprehension capabilities increased by 30%, while multimodal processing capabilities increased by up to 50%. This opens up the potential for widespread application across many industrial sectors.
One prominent trend is expressive intelligence – the combination of AI and robotics. This field has attracted over 40 billion yuan in investment, with more than 350 companies participating in the industrial value chain, demonstrating rapid development.
Taiwan and Poland collaborate to develop a drone supply chain.
Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the country and Poland have signed a memorandum of understanding to build a drone supply chain. The agreement was signed between the Taiwan Excellence Drone International Business Opportunities Alliance and the Polish Unmanned Systems Chamber of Commerce.

Besides Poland, Taiwan is also cooperating with the Baltic states and the Czech Republic. GEOSAT Aerospace & Technology and Coretronic are considered to have strong capabilities and are ready to participate in international projects. UAVs are considered one of the key products in Taiwan's economic cooperation strategy.
Taiwan is promoting a “plan to strengthen the Central and Eastern European supply chain,” while also considering establishing an international drone academy, a drone pilot alliance, and organizing international competitions.
