January 6, 2026 -- Tenstorrent unveiled its first-generation compact AI accelerator device designed in partnership with Razer™, the leading brand for gamers, today at CES 2026. The compact and modular AI accelerator brings powerful generative AI capabilities to any Thunderbolt™5 or Thunderbolt™4 equipped system, enabling portable and intuitive edge AI computing for developers wherever they choose.

Utilizing Tenstorrent’s Wormhole™ technology, the device is able to deliver scalability for multi-chip development using Tenstorrent’s robust open-source software stacks. Developers will be able run LLMs, image generation models, and a wide range of AI/ML workloads. Tenstorrent’s software can be found at www.github.com/tenstorrent.

The device is designed for modularity, with a small form factor that connects to any laptop with the latest Thunderbolt™ technology. This accessible entry point into the Tenstorrent ecosystem enables mobile developers to take their development environment anywhere and turn standard laptops into capable platforms for running AI/ML workloads locally. Users can also daisy chain multiple units (up to four devices) to scale performance for larger models, enabling a desktop-sized cluster for edge AI experimentation and deployment.“A device anyone can plug into their laptop unlocks the next generation of developers building on our open platform,” said Christine Blizzard, Chief Experience Officer at Tenstorrent. “Our goal is to make AI more accessible and we trust Razer to deliver products that developers love.”

“AI developers on the edge demand power, flexibility, and mobility – and this collaboration delivers all three,” said Travis Furst, Head of Notebook and Accessories Division at Razer. “Our partnership with Tenstorrent combines their cutting-edge AI acceleration technology with Razer’s expertise in high-performance engineering and external enclosure design. Together, we’re advancing edge AI development as part of Razer’s broader vision for AI – bringing portable, uncompromising compute to developers.”
