The Appliance — Roadmap
Not built as a product. Not delivered. Not supported. Roadmap.
The Platform — No Lock-In
Lab practice, not a product: we run more than one model behind one gateway, and we swap by the job. A customer box with that property is roadmap. Nobody — including us — gets lock-in on your box.
What leaves the box
The full egress list is not published yet. No outbound path is claimed until it is named.
// who it's for
Households & Homesteaders
Households that want local models on hardware they own. A house that keeps working offline is the direction, not a system you can buy. Solar sizing is research. This is the pitch the whole company grew from.
Small Businesses
AI on staff without putting your books, your clients, or your process IP in someone else's datacenter.
Anyone Who Means It
If you want the model on hardware you own, that is the point. We do not claim your data never leaves. The egress list is not published.
// proof, not promises
Lab Live In Northern Michigan
Multi-node inference, one control plane, verification layer under construction. Every number we publish was measured there, on hardware we own — dated, stamped, raw data included: ST4TS.
Building In Public
The appliance is roadmap. Monthly lab reports at L4B. What worked, what's stuck, what we learned. Milestones, not dates.

The lab, in public terms
The lab is the founder's own machines in northern Michigan. Workloads we'll say in public: local chat, code, and retrieval — models swapped per job, logs kept on the box. We have no customer quote and no third-party pilot to show.
