library

E-books, field guides, templates, and reference material in active drafting. Most are free; the flagship is pre-order. New material lands here as it ships. The companion repos are public, MIT, and forkable.

E-books

Four free guides paid for by one flagship pre-order. Each one is in active drafting. Subscribe below to get notified the moment one ships.

The Sovereign Stack

Pre-orderComing soon

An interactive e-book on production agents on hardware you own. Cost teardowns, eval harnesses, and the architecture that ships.

The flagship — built as an interactive e-book, not a static PDF, because the local-AI stack changes monthly. Pre-order locks in lifetime free updates, including major version revisions every time models or hardware shift the math. Available for offline reading in the format you actually use: high-fidelity PDF, EPUB for e-readers, and a browsable web version with live benchmarks. Real dollar amounts on every page. Hardware selection across Framework, Mac Studio, and dual-GPU servers. ROCm and Metal setup that does not waste a weekend. Model picks across Qwen, Gemma, Kimi, DeepSeek with the benchmark numbers I actually ran. Agent harness design with eval harnesses you can paste. n8n and MCP orchestration patterns from production systems. The cost discipline that decides whether you ship in fall or burn through the runway.
