AI mini PCs
Compact boxes with enough RAM for 7B–14B local models and always-on agent workers. Look for 32GB+ unified or discrete memory.
Catalog / hardware
Local inference and homelab gear for agents that should not send every token to the cloud. Cloud models still pair well via cheaperllm and OneAIPass.

Compact boxes with enough RAM for 7B–14B local models and always-on agent workers. Look for 32GB+ unified or discrete memory.
Desktop GPUs for larger context and fine-tunes. Prefer cards with VRAM headroom for concurrent agent tools + model weights.
RAM kits, NVMe, and cooling for Ollama / llama.cpp hosts. Pair with AgentStack MCP filesystem + sqlite for offline loops.
Edge NPUs and USB accelerators for light inference on laptops without a discrete GPU.
Store model weights, session tapes, and crawl caches. Agents need durable disks more than flashy RGB.
Run drafts locally; escalate hard reasoning to Claude routes on cheaperllm. Edit in Cursor; chat across models on OneAIPass.
