    We wanted to do something very challenging to prove to ourselves that we can do anything we put our mind to. The reasoning for why we chose to build a toy TPU specifically is fairly simple: - Building a chip for ML workloads seemed cool - There was no well-documented open source repo for an ML accelerator that performed both inference and training None of us have real professional experience in hardware design, which, in a way, made the TPU even more appealing since we weren't able to estimate exactly how difficult it would be. As we worked on the initial stages of this project, we…

    Hi HN, I am building a Terminal User Interface (like Claude Code) for self-hosted AI agents on Jetsons. Works in air-gapped environments. Unlike other solutions, this is optimised for unified memory machines, as to avoid OOM errors. The agent can do stuff like edit, read, create files - manage and interpret data locally. Currently, it gets ~17 tok/s on Jetson Orin Nano 8GB using Qwen3-4B-Instruct-4bit In the future, adding TensorRT .engine support which will boost inference further. I am trying to get the memory footprint down, so if anyone has knowledge on kv cache optimisation, that…
