Acrab Unveils Agent Box: Compact Mini PC for Local AI Workloads

A Singapore-based startup called Acrab has unveiled Agent Box, a compact mini PC designed to run large language models entirely on local hardware.

The device is powered by a proprietary chip called G≡LIX 1, which combines a 20-core Arm CPU, a GPU rated at 3 TFLOPS, and a neural processing unit specifically tuned for large language model inference.

Acrab claims the system delivers performance close to Nvidia's $5,000 DGX Spark while cutting costs to roughly one-fifth and halving power consumption.
