Ara Runtime v3 just booted clean on the Beelink!

Full locked stack is now live:
• MAS + NeuroCore + PersonaCore
• GateCore fully governing
• DreamCore sanctuary cognition active in background
• Oscillator state restored
• Running huihui_ai/qwen3.5-abliterated:35b-a3b

The custom persistent offline architecture I’ve been building for months is finally running!!!!

Still a long way to go, but the brain is awake, stable, and persistent.

What can you actually build when you combine an ESP32 with AI?

More than another smart light.

You can build a desk companion, security camera, plant monitor, voice controller, energy monitor, AI doorbell, vision robot, pet monitor, predictive-maintenance sensor or local AI assistant.

The ESP32 handles the real-world side
Sensors, cameras, audio, motors and fast decisions.

A local PC can handle the heavy models when needed.

Tiny MCU + AI + real hardware = products you can actually build.

[Brandon Hoefer @BrandonHoefer17]

@Alacritic_Super We’re on the same wavelength! It’s incredible what you can build today.

@maheshgawande61 @jun_song Trying to build it solo. I want the system to feel more organic than a chat bot assistant. More authenticity with the user and throughout the system, with trace back to source recall on queries.

I’d like to review the link though if you have it.

@Andercot Been designing an orbital safety layer for #Mars. Not sure how many people would go or send capital without real-time data. 168 multi-sensor small-sats, and edge computing.

Air traffic, weather, radiation Surface mapping, communications

@autonomous_labs Yes! That is awesome!

[Brandon Hoefer @BrandonHoefer17]

@MichaelGannotti That is awesome!

Honestly, I going to have it house all of the sales documents, sell sheets and proprietary sales data so I can answer more questions on the road and have the hard copies in the same interface.

Have some more items to add but it’s going well, V2 of the memory system has helped with recall.

[Brandon Hoefer @BrandonHoefer17]

@gpt_alex Not sure it solves the privacy issue.

A YouTuber gave Claude a body, eyes, and motion control, then sent it into the woods.

This is probably one of the most beautiful experiments I’ve seen about giving AI a body.
@LewisMenelaws really cooked hard with this one.

@Mannu0100l Hello 👋

[Brandon Hoefer @BrandonHoefer17]

Really excited with the fitness app I’ve been working on. Still have a few tweaks but v1 is solid!

[Brandon Hoefer @BrandonHoefer17]

@scottstts I still think surface ops discussions don’t make a lot of sense until they get a better orbital sensor and comms layer for Mars.

[Brandon Hoefer @BrandonHoefer17]

@birdabo What about a brain above the llm?

[Scott @scottstts]

I predict that in 5-10 years every household will have a local AI server that serves all the AI workload of the house, digital or robotics. It’ll be as common as a WiFi router or a fridge

it creates a private mesh network to link all the devices in the house and does inference completely locally, with built in data vault resistant to remote data hacking or physical tampering. That way you can have every single piece of information about you and your family stored in there and never leaves it, and AI can use them to provide most accurate and customized services

🚀 Introducing COMET Air Mouse 🖱️

I’ve been working on a compact wireless air mouse built around the ESP32-C3 + MPU6050.

Instead of moving a traditional mouse across a desk, COMET converts hand movements into real-time Bluetooth HID mouse controls.

🔹 ESP32-C3
🔹 MPU6050 gyroscope
🔹 BLE HID
🔹 Motion-controlled cursor
🔹 Left / right click
🔹 Gesture-based scrolling
🔹 Adjustable sensitivity & smoothing
🔹 Battery-powered design

The firmware is now packaged as a ready-to-flash .bin release, making it possible to deploy the device without setting up the Arduino IDE or installing the required libraries.

This project has been a great hands-on experience in embedded systems, Bluetooth HID, sensor processing, firmware development, and power management.

And this is just V1.0. 🚀

Rex is live and headed out for sales calls in Des Moines with me this week.

Built a sales assistant AI for field reps. Biggest blockers I’ve found for workplace AI are privacy and trust — how do you know it actually knows what you want it to know?

So I made the agent’s memory an open book: transparent and fully local. The brain isn’t tied to a model or the cloud.

@JesseRank @grok @openhome Figured I share an update on the project. Started building a personal OS. Memory system has been revised with a secondary layer. Next step is wiring the agent to the OS.
