    No specs. No examples of models it can run. No idea if any of the source will be available.

    Basically vapourware.

      Not just vaporware but a scam to collect the $100 deposits and disappear.

      December 2027 shipping date is hilarious for an AI hardware product.

      Hi,

      We left the specs out because the landing page was made for non-technical consumers who aren't aware of the hardware required in general.

      Here are the specs: Processor (SoC): AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Memory: 128 GB LPDDR5X-8000 Motherboard: custom Storage: NVMe SSD, 4 TB: WD_Black SN850X 4TB

      Rest is basic: ethernet, usb c ports, wifi module, power supply

      Inference engine: llama.cpp

      Models: A fast default for chat, email and calendar: a 30B-class mixture-of-experts model like Qwen3-30B-A3B. A larger model for harder tasks: gpt-oss-120b. A coding model: Qwen3-Coder-Next.

      The late release date is specifically to fine tune the experience for the non technical consumer, someone who wouldn't know what model to switch to for what task. We want this to be a seamless out of the box experience. UI/UX is very important here. Another reason for the late release is the chip cant be bought off the shelf and need AMD to sell us the chip at a certain volume

        I'm seeing 128GB DDR5 RAM costing $3500+ just by itself.

        How are you going to build an entire system shipped for $3k?

        This spec sheet looks more like a dreamed-up spec sheet than pricing reality.
