01
The computer was supposed to extend you.
The personal computer was a promise: more agency, more leverage, more room to think. It was not supposed to become a thin client for someone else's meter.

● PRIVATE PREVIEW UTC
● Manifesto
They made you
the product.
We made you
the computer.
TARX exists because the next interface for AI should belong to the person using it. Private work starts on your machine. Extra compute is a path you approve, not the default business model.
02
The cloud took the computer back.
Every prompt, every file, every workflow became another trip through rented infrastructure. AI made that capture more powerful and more expensive.
03
TARX is the counter-proposal.
Private AI should start on the machine you own. The human should not be the product. The computer should be the product surface again.
● Proof posture
Conviction,
not theater.
A working alpha shows the local execution loop: prompt, run, visible activity, evidence, files, terminal, preview, history, and cancel.
The founder shipped Palantir AIP onto local, airgapped compute before TARX.
TARX has been local-first from the start. Mesh contribution, enterprise-owned deployment, and broader Supercomputer capacity remain roadmap-gated.
