Pinea Pi to launch first edge AI node

The campaign offers Lite and Pro models with local inference, no cloud subscription and early-bird pricing from $1,999, the company said.

  • NEW YORK-based hardware pioneer Pinea Pi announced its first edge AI node will launch on Kickstarter in late September, with the campaign running through late October.
  • Pinea Pi builds edge AI nodes that work offline with auditable privacy, serving Independent professionals and Makers by ensuring sensitive data never leaves the hardware.
  • Both ship with Ubuntu and a complete edge AI software stack, with early-bird pricing at $1,999 for Lite with 180 TOPS of Intel performance and $2,999 for Pro featuring 275 TOPS of NVIDIA performance.
  • Multimodal-Native capabilities allow the device to see, hear, and think locally, while the built-in AI companion Piny recognizes owners by face and voice using the MiniCPM model family.
  • Starting in late Aug, early supporters can reserve units with a $30 deposit, a one-time hardware investment that replaces monthly cloud API costs for AI developers running open-source models locally.
