Most AI tools today feel like assistants. You ask. They answer. Done. But what if an AI didn’t stop there?
Not long ago, running an AI assistant required powerful computers, cloud servers, and a lot of memory. Now imagine this instead. An AI agent running on a tiny device smaller than your palm, one that costs about $10.
Okechukwu Nwaozor built an AI system. He was 17, just out of secondary school, and entirely self-taught. When he shared his plans on Facebook, the comments ranged from disbelief to outright mockery. Yet here he is today, leading a project that has captured the attention of developers across Africa and beyond.
This week, a Chinese startup called Moonshot AI released a new model Kimi K2 Thinking and quietly flipped the leaderboard. In independent benchmarks that test reasoning, coding, and autonomous tool use, this free, open-source model didn’t just compete with OpenAI’s GPT-5. It beat it.
