Four dials set the whole machine.
You do not pick parts. You set four dials — guided constraints that shape a recommended configuration and rationale-backed BOM, plus a reference 3D assembly with recorded thermal evidence. Change a dial and the recommendation moves with it, because the dials are coupled. Here is what each one controls.
// dial 01
Workload
LLM inference · vision · sensor-fusion · mixed
What the machine actually runs. This is the anchor dial. Model size and precision drive the memory bandwidth the system needs, which drives the silicon, which drives everything after it.
// dial 02
Power budget
15–150 W
The power envelope the design has to stay inside. A tight budget favors efficient silicon and passive cooling. A larger budget opens up more throughput at the cost of heat and size.
// dial 03
Form factor
briefcase · 1U · handheld · in-cabinet
The shape and size of the finished machine. Form factor caps the volume available for boards, cooling, and battery, so it sets the ceiling on what the other dials can ask for.
// dial 04
Environment
office · field · industrial · in-vehicle
Where the machine lives. Environment sets thermal ambient, ingress and vibration expectations, and noise limits. A field or in-vehicle build has to hold up where an office build never would.
When you are signed in
Set the four dials to get an alpha recommendation (config + BOM + reference assembly). Two surfaces let you go deeper once you are logged in.
/app/configure is the live configure view. Swap parts on the bill of materials and watch the readouts update as the recommended configuration refreshes around your change.
/app/build/ is the chat builder. Describe the system in plain language and refine it in conversation instead of touching the dials by hand.
