What happened
Ghost raised $11 million to build Core, a $3,499 personal computer designed specifically for AI agents that take actions on a person's behalf.
Why it matters
Dedicated consumer hardware for autonomous AI agents represents a contrarian move against cloud-only agent architectures. At a $3,499 price point, the venture bet hinges on whether localized compute delivers sufficient privacy, latency, and control benefits to justify specialized physical silicon.
What to watch
Developer uptake of the Core operating ecosystem and consumer willingness to pay a premium hardware price point for agentic automation.
