    About CrankGPT

    CrankGPT: Local Human-powered AI

    CrankGPT is a human-powered, fully local, and private AI solution developed by Squeez Labs. It allows users to generate their own AI tokens through physical exertion, addressing concerns about climate change, wealth concentration, and personal fitness by running entirely on-device without the need for cloud connectivity.

    Key Features

    • Complete Privacy: Runs entirely on-device, ensuring your data, questions, and ideas remain private without relying on mega-corporations.

    • Eco-Friendly and Fitness-Oriented: Users burn calories instead of oil to produce tokens, combining physical workouts with AI usage.

    • Cost Savings: Allows users to go off-grid and save money by generating their own tokens rather than paying tech companies.

    • Offline Capability: Functions without Wi-Fi, cloud access, or grid power, providing intelligence during outages or rolling blackouts.

    Power Tiers and Use Cases

    • Tier 1 (20W Synapse): Designed for question answering and simple conversation using a basic hand-cranked model for everyday home use.

    • Tier 2 (150W Cortex): Built for agentic coding and video generation, utilizing pedal-powered models for power users and small companies.

    • Tier 3 (2000W+ Singularity): Intended for agent swarms, training, and fine-tuning through partnerships with gyms and fitness studios for complex enterprise workflows.
