Developer turns a Nokia 110 into a native AI agent
What happened
On October 8, Hacker News reported that a developer reverse-engineered Nokia 110 4G firmware and turned the calculator app into a native AI chat app. The prototype calls the DeepSeek chat API and uses tool calls to answer questions, check battery level, toggle the flashlight, place calls and set alarms. A computer loads the app into the phone's 48MB of memory, after which it runs without the computer over the SIM card's mobile data. After a restart or power-off, the app still has to be reloaded; permanent installation is unsolved, and the code is not open source because it contains sensitive data.

开发者逆向 Nokia 110 4G 固件，将计算器应用改造为原生 AI 聊天应用，通过 DeepSeek chat API 与工具调用实现问答、查电量、开关手电筒、拨打电话和设置闹钟。该原型从电脑加载进 48MB 内存后可脱离电脑、用 SIM 移动数据运行，但重启或关机后需重新加载，永久安装尚未解决。代码因项目含敏感数据暂未开源。
