Uptime Industries wants to boost localized AI usage with an ‘AI-in-a-box’ called Lemony AI
The Lemony AI device can run large language models, AI agents and automated workflows locally.
Each Lemony requires only 65 watts of power to run, the equivalent of charging a laptop, and can be stacked and connected to form bigger AI clusters. Like most tech startups, the idea for Lemony AI stemmed from a side project: Uptime’s co-founders, Buehrle and Ivan Kuleshov, were trying to figure out if they could distribute language models on Raspberry Pi’s micro computers, and while this wasn’t originally related to generative AI, when it worked, they started trying to see what else these Raspberry Pis could handle. The startup says the plan now is to get the software it has developed for its micro AI computers, Lemony OS, to work on other companies’ hardware, like the Nvidia DGX Spark.
