Hey guys -So we’re all excited to start playing with our tiiny devices. As more and more of us get our devices online, I wanted to share a few tips I’ve learned so far. My background: I work in a tech-adjacent field (engineering) but my only experience with coding is a few classes back in high school, so I am writing t
I wanted to keep all my flight records on one map, but the travel app I was using limits free users to 40 trips. So I built my own with Tiiny.
I used Kilo Code in Code mode and started with this prompt:
Build me a web page that keeps track of all my flights on a world map. Every time I add a trip, it draws a nice curved 
I've been using Tiiny AI to help me with my code. I work mainly in the Intellij IDE and I figured I would share how to setup Intellij to use Tiiny AI.
Steps to hook up intellij.
1) First grab your API key from the settings in Tiiny AI
2) Go to Intellij settings and search for AI assistant (Providers & API keys)
3) Select O
A spec sheet does not tell you what a box does when you give it real work, so this is a set of numbers measured on one instead.
What is on the page: five models, 23 runs, measured between 15 August and 15 September. Every result carries the build, the host and the NPU cost it was measured with, because a figure taken of
By the end of the week, my notes were a mix of short updates, half-finished thoughts, and reminders. They named colleagues, staging access, legal wording that wasn't public yet, and finance numbers. I gave them to Tiiny and asked for a report on completed work, work in progress, problems, next week's priorities, and he
I gave Tiiny Music one brief: a melancholic 1970s country-folk ballad with acoustic guitar, harmonica, fiddle, upright bass, and a weathered male vocal.
The first verse names the same instruments I asked for, in the order they come in:
The fiddle hummed low where the shadows fall. I heard the harmonica breathe against t
I keep most of my notes and learning materials in Obsidian. I wanted to use Tiiny with them without moving everything to another platform. I installed the Copilot plugin for Obsidian and added Tiiny through its model settings. Tiiny has an OpenAI-compatible API, so I entered the endpoint and can now use its local model
I wanted to try the kind of search I'd use when I remember a picture but have no idea what the file is called.
I attached three real photos with plain filenames: IMG_001.jpg, IMG_002.jpg and IMG_003.jpg. The request was to find “the cat trying to fit into a cardboard box,” return the exact filename, and identify the mou
For a child learning about the Moon, I wanted a few questions we could go through aloud after reading. Each answer needed to be short enough to check against the article.
I pasted an extract from NASA's Moon Facts page into Tiiny and asked:
My child is learning about the Moon. Turn this NASA extract into exactly 10 short
Simulated parent scenario using public school newsletters. Results from an actual TiinyOS test.
I wanted one list I could check before the school week: what to book, what to pay for, and when pickup changes.
For this test, I gave Tiiny text extracted from two public school newsletters. I set the date to 15 October 2026 a
I used TiinyOS to generate two sets of chibi stickers: one based on a Shiba Inu and the other on a Siamese cat.
Both animals were easy to recognize, and the chibi look came through clearly.
Prompt 1
Based on a Shiba Inu, generate a set of chibi-style stickers with different facial expressions and gestures. Do not repeat t
The store lists 50 models now, and the thing nobody says up front is that the number beside each one is a budget rather than a spec.
Your box has 100 NPU units. Everything you keep resident spends some: a 35B chat model is around 50, an image model around 32, a text-to-speech voice around 7, a small embedding model 1. T
The representative quotes were the most useful part of this test. They gave me a quick way to check whether Tiiny’s conclusions matched what the customer had said.
The record was not a clean transcript. It was 58 minutes and roughly 5,800 words, mixing the customer’s answers with my questions, my notes, an observer’s no
I started my morning by asking Tiiny for a quick rundown of the latest headlines.
Tiiny grouped the news into sections, summarized the main developments, and included its sources. I could scan the topics first, then decide which stories I wanted to read in more detail.
My favorite feature was the link preview. Hovering o
If you have poked at the Vault and were not sure what it actually does, this is the plain version.
It is two things under one name. The first is a document store you can search by meaning: you drop files in, the device chunks them, an embedding model on the NPU turns them into vectors, and they land in a local database.
This is a fictional camping checklist tested in TiinyOS with Qwen3.6-35B-A3B. No trip, booking or purchase happened in this test.
Two families can each have a camping checklist and still be short of the same things. I tried a fictional one-night trip: four adults, two children, gear split between the families, and a req
