Panda - Personal AI computer that runs entirely in your home

Show HN: Panda, the world's first personal AI computer

Panda is a $2,997 device that puts a complete AI brain in a box next to your router, handling chat, coding, deep research, image, video, and 3D model generation with zero cloud dependency. It serves up to 25 devices, includes pre-installed CRM, project management, accounting, and team communication tools, and requires no subscription. Your data never leaves home, and the $100 deposit is fully refundable until shipping begins in December 2027.

AI is the new calculator. So why does it need a data center? Panda brings AI back to that model: a device you own, working for you alone.

    No specs. No examples of models it can run. No idea if any of the source will be available.

    Basically vapourware.

    No way I can put any money down without knowing the specs. Unless I am missing something, I didn't see anything on the homepage.

    Hi,

    We left the specs out because the landing page was made for non-technical consumers who aren't aware of the hardware required in general.

    Here are the specs: Processor (SoC): AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Memory: 128 GB LPDDR5X-8000 Motherboard: custom Storage: NVMe SSD, 4 TB: WD_Black SN850X 4TB

    Rest is basic: ethernet, usb c ports, wifi module, power supply

    Inference engine: llama.cpp

    Models: A fast default for chat, email and calendar: a 30B-class mixture-of-experts model like Qwen3-30B-A3B. A larger model for harder tasks: gpt-oss-120b. A coding model: Qwen3-Coder-Next.

    The late release date is specifically to fine tune the experience for the non technical consumer, someone who wouldn't know what model to switch to for what task. We want this to be a seamless out of the box experience. UI/UX is very important here. Another reason for the late release is the chip cant be bought off the shelf and need AMD to sell us the chip at a certain volume

    The chat UI is duplicating the chatgpt/claude web chats, where you've got a list of chats on the left and each new thing you wanna do is expected to be a new chat, and maybe it has memories it writes to or can search chats to cross reference.

    I've been using these things a bit differently lately, more of a personal assistant - probably more of the OpenClaw setup I'd guess, though I haven't used OpenClaw. I have my macbook running constantly and it has a session running for reach of my projects, plus one session called pa (personal assistant) which is set up to track tasks and to talk to all the other sessions.

    The pa is the only session I directly interact with anymore. It's got it's own Signal account and a single Signal chat is the way I interact with all my sessions. Actually, there are a few sessions run on other machines too that it knows how to get to, but mostly it's just the per-project sessions on my macbook.

    I think that's how I'm gonna want stuff like this to work - mostly in one single text thread that delegates to the others. The others don't have to be totally invisible, being able to drop into them individually would be fine as long as it doesn't interfere with the simplicity of the main thread.

    Shipping Dec 2027... I don't know about you, but at the rate of current pace, I don't know what to expect at the end of 2027.

More from this day
