The physical substrate of computing, ranging from 4-nanometer silicon chips to liquid-cooled server racks.

Hardware is the tangible engine of the digital world. It encompasses the specialized architecture of GPUs like the NVIDIA H100 (packing 80 billion transistors) and the high-speed interconnects that define modern data centers. While software provides the logic, hardware delivers the raw throughput and thermal management required to execute billions of operations per second. From RISC-V open-source instruction sets to the precision of TSMC's photolithography, this layer is where abstract code meets physical constraints like power density and latency.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Teaching a robot to always win connect four via LeRobot](https://berlin.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_HveawmqfJoQ)

I trained an autonomous robot arm setup using Hugging Face’s LeRobot framework that plays a game of Connect Four and is annoying as it always beats human opponents. The robot perceives the physical board state via a camera, calculates the optimal move, and executes the physical token drop.

### [Singularity Machines - Fast Software Services | Sovereign Compute Systems | Agentic Automation](https://boston.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_tHXNfsOaH-E)

Maximum control, minimum abstraction... Over time, the economic center of software moved away from owned machines and into controlled services. Singularity Machines are a return to first principles: start with hardware, build upward locally, and restore real ownership of computation to the person using it. This offline, privacy-first, low-level stack gives you total ownership and full autonomy inside a closed-source system, with granular control down to the hardware by default and intentional, transparent online access only when necessary—so you can build, operate, and communicate on your own terms without unnecessary external dependencies or exposure. And of course, your personal local AI controls the whole damn thing for you.
