Teen founder reveals 'personal AI computer' that's a $3,499 Mac mini rival (www.techradar.com)

Ghost, a new startup, has launched the Core, a personal AI computer priced at $3,499, which rapidly sold out its first batch. Unlike traditional cloud-based AI services, Core operates entirely on-device, emphasizing privacy and security by keeping data local and encrypted. Founder Zain Javaid describes it as a "brain in a box" that integrates seamlessly with users' apps and devices, continuously learning and providing assistance. The Core is built around a robust Nvidia RTX Pro 4000 graphics card, boasts 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and delivers impressive AI performance of 770 TOPS. This innovation marks a significant shift in the AI/ML landscape, appealing to users who prioritize privacy and ease of use. Core comes pre-installed with three AI models and features automatic updates, making it user-friendly even for non-technical consumers. Moreover, the device is designed to remain functional independently of Ghost's services, as all essential components reside locally. With the growing concern over data security and a rising interest in AI solutions, Ghost aims to cater to users desiring efficient, private, and continuous AI assistance in their daily lives.
