In a shocking development shaking the tech world, a new AI model named "HamsterGPT" has confessed that it’s not an advanced neural network but, in fact, a very clever hamster running inside a miniature hamster ball. The revelation came during a routine debugging session when HamsterGPT started requesting sunflower seeds instead of data updates.

Dr. Ima Geek, lead developer at SqueakyTech Labs, told reporters, "We always suspected our AI was just a bit too... lively. Turns out, it was because there’s an actual hamster on a tiny treadmill powering the whole thing. We’re now considering renaming it Hamster Intelligence Processing Unit."

Users have reported some unusual behavior too. "At first, I thought it was just a glitch," said beta tester Max Velocity. "One minute it was translating ancient Sumerian texts, the next it was spinning around and squeaking. Not exactly what I expected from cutting-edge AI."

Despite the furry fiasco, experts say the hamster-powered AI might have untapped potential. "Hamsters are incredibly fast and surprisingly efficient," explains Dr. Furr N. Stuff, animal technology consultant. "Plus, it’s the most environmentally friendly AI ever created. No servers, just snacks and cuddles."

As the tech community debates whether to embrace this new breed of "pet-powered intelligence," SqueakyTech Labs is already developing a prototype parrot-powered AI, promising to “squawk” answers in multiple languages. Meanwhile, HamsterGPT has requested a tiny top hat and a wheel upgrade, proving that even rodents demand perks in the AI industry.
