A 19-year-old founder's startup Ghost just released Core, a $3,499 desktop device built specifically to run AI agents locally on your behalf. The machine comes with an Nvidia GPU, preloaded models, and encrypted local storage so Ghost and other third parties can't access your data.
- Core costs $3,499, includes an Nvidia RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell GPU, and ships with three AI models preinstalled (Qwen and Gemma); preorders open Monday with delivery in late October.
- All code, model weights, and personal data run locally on the device—not in the cloud—and Ghost says it's designed to keep working even if the company shuts down.
- Javaid argues Core differs from a Mac Mini because it's purpose-built for AI agents with software designed to handle continuous task execution, memory management, and autonomous decision-making without constant user input.
- The device includes a firewall that monitors outgoing network requests and blocks agents from exfiltrating data or performing unauthorized actions.
