- Always-on footprint: control → AI compute → applications
- Burst / experimental compute joins on demand and is not a production dependency
- Private network + secure remote access connect all node roles
Public-safe topology view with generalized service roles and sanitized network presentation. Dashed connector marks optional on-demand capacity.
Compute Fabric
Node Roles
Each system has a defined operational role rather than acting as interchangeable compute.
Mac Mini M4 · Control Plane
24 GB unified memory. Always-on home for agent orchestration, routing, and control services.
Dell Pro Max GB10 · Primary AI Compute
128 GB unified memory. Always-on primary local AI inference for ~27–70B local LLMs.
Raspberry Pi 5 · Application Host
Always-on host for web apps, dashboards, supporting services, and photo/media workflows.
Gaming Workstation · Burst / Experimental Compute
On demand. Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Radeon RX 9070 XT, 32 GB DDR5 for benchmarking, alternate inference/runtime testing, and experimental workloads. Not a production dependency.
Pi Zero 2 W (InkyPi)
Low-power ambient display node for framed calendar and lightweight information surfaces.
Pi Zero 2 W (Pi-hole)
Network utility device providing DNS-level filtering and lightweight infrastructure support.
Raspberry Pi 4B (DogCam)
Edge computer vision node used for camera-based experiments and lightweight CV workflows.
