This LLM in a box is powered by a hand crank.
As spotted earlier by The Register, CrankGPT is a concept project from a two-person team at Squeez Labs that runs private, local AI models without needing a power-hungry data center. Instead, you have to literally crank out your own power for each of the chatbot’s answers.

TL;DR
- CrankGPT is a concept project from Squeez Labs.
- It allows private, local AI models to run.
- It does not require a power-hungry data center.
- Users must generate power by hand-cranking for each answer.
