CrankGPT Is a Hand-Powered Chatbot to Guide You Through the Post-Apocalypse

The apocalypse will be a pain in the ass for any number of possible reasons.
The giant robot dinosaurs! The constant 1950s music blaring from mysteriously
functional radios! The possibility of ending up as livestock in a terrifying
cannibal basement and wondering why you didn’t read The Road more closely.
But clearly, the absolute worst part of it will be not having ChatGPT to tell
you what to do anymore. How is one to live without a weird internet parrot
whispering sweet nothings in one’s ear all day long??



Well, never fear, because one plucky inventor has already foreseen the
disaster that an LLM-less post-apocalypse would present, and they’ve planned
for exactly that eventuality. Behold: CrankGPT!

別擔心，因為一位勇敢的發明家已經預見到沒有LLM的後末日世界將會帶來怎樣的災難，
並且他們已經為此做好了準備。瞧：CrankGPT！

>From the name, you might think that this is just ChatGPT with a built-in
suite of antivaxx prompts, but no! This is an LLM for a grid-less future: a
self-contained, battery-less box that uses an old-style hand crank for power.
The box contains a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, an audio input/output
card, and a 20W hand-cranked generator.



CrankGPT is the work of the two-person company SqueezLabs, whose website
describes its remit as “making AI smaller, cheaper, and faster so you can
run it anywhere.” Oh happy day! According to the device’s website, the
generator connects to a capacitor board that the duo designed themselves; the
board ensures that the voltage supplied to the Raspberry Pi remains steady.
One interesting wrinkle is that “you can feel [the power load] through the
crank: when LLM inference and speech synthesis run together, the crank gets a
lot harder to turn.”



The LLM itself can be one of several alternatives: SqueezLabs recommends “
small Liquid AI LFM2 variants (e.g., 350M or 1.2B), along with Gemma 3 in its
1B form.” The machine takes voice input through its audio card, converts the
speech to text via a custom voice agent written by the designers, and then
outputs the LLM’s response into text-to-speech software Piper.

In all seriousness, this is an interesting proof of concept for running
demanding software on a relatively small energy budget, and also a
demonstration that LLMs don’t have to hoover up vast amounts of power to
function. As the designers explain, “It offended our European
small-practical-car sensibilities to see people around us throwing kilowatts
and thousands of tokens at tasks small models could accomplish just as well
as huge ones, for a fraction of the cost and energy.”


Unfortunately, with Silicon Valley at the wheel, it doesn’t look like the
supersize-me philosophy that characterizes LLM development at the moment is
going anywhere anytime soon. But when the bombs fall, it’ll be the
small-practical-car types who have the last laugh. Well, until the
neck-wider-than-head crew arrives with their AR-15s, anyway. ChatGPT, what’s
for dinner? … Me, you say? Oh.


Piper。




ChatGPT，晚餐吃什麼？ ……你說吃我？哦。
