PROSUMER.ONE / SHOWROOM / NO CHECKOUT

THINGS

KNOWING

Not a shop. Not a shortlist. A window of personal AI machines that teach us something about the category — including machines we would not buy.

01

Lived with / on the way.

FIELD GUIDE · LIVED-WITH

Olares One

A 3.5-litre AI lab whose software surface became more interesting than the headline GPU.

Story: the door is not the workshop; the garage becomes a desk.
PRE-ARRIVAL FIELD GUIDE

Tiiny AI Pocket Lab

A 300 g-class bet on always-on private inference, with the converter pipeline as the real product dependency.

Story: presence may be the feature; fits ≠ usable.
02

Mapped, not owned.

These live on PROSUMER.WATCH as candidate or research dossiers.

INDEX DOSSIER · CANDIDATE

Peladn YO2 495

192 GB of capacity and a headline that needs deflating before it needs benchmarking.

Story: the cup is huge; the straw is modest.
INDEX DOSSIER · CANDIDATE

Framework Desktop 495

A repairability philosophy with a soldered heart and a real-but-workful clustering path.

Story: repairable ≠ upgradeable.
RESEARCH DOSSIER · CANDIDATE

Lucebox Zero 495

Two memory pools, one placement engine, and a question more interesting than GB per pound.

Story: two pools are not one fast pool.
RESEARCH DOSSIER · DEV PREVIEW

WiCi One

A shared accelerator over the network where API, SDK and virtual-driver promises must stay separate.

Story: skip crossings; don't pretend Wi-Fi is PCIe.
CANDIDATE DOSSIER

Ghost Core

A finished-personal-AI bet where persistent memory and bounded actions matter more than peak benchmark numbers.

Story: switch the model, keep the memory — revoke the mandate, lose the permission.
A machine can be important to the map without being right for me.

That distinction is the point of separating the showroom from the live index. PROSUMER.ONE explains the world in human terms; PROSUMER.WATCH keeps the evidence moving.
