Two boxes. One software stack.
Start lean or launch ready. Both SKUs share the same OS image, API surface and OTA pipeline — so you can mix them in a fleet and upgrade without re-tooling.
Starter
The lowest-friction way to own local AI. Ideal for embeddings, small chat models, workflow routing and offline assistants.
Reserve Starter- ✓ RK3588-class SoC · 8-core ARM
- ✓ 8GB LPDDR · 6 TOPS NPU
- ✓ 128GB NVMe
- ✓ 1× Gigabit Ethernet
- ✓ 2× USB 3.0 · 1× HDMI
- ✓ Aluminum shell + active cooling
- ✓ 12V DC · clusterable
Target: 3B-class models, selected 7B quantized
Pro
Powerful enough to feel credible, compact enough to sit on a desk. The recommended box for serious single-node inference and small RAG stacks.
Reserve Pro- ✓ RK3588 / RK1-class module · 8-core ARM
- ✓ 16–32GB LPDDR · 6 TOPS NPU
- ✓ 256GB NVMe + M.2 slot
- ✓ 2.5GbE networking
- ✓ 2–4× USB 3.0 · HDMI · Wi-Fi/BT
- ✓ Upgraded thermal spreader + blower
- ✓ 12/19V DC · low-latency cluster mesh
Target: 7B quantized models, RAG, agent services

Designed for the 100th hour, not the first.
Small AI appliances live or die on thermals. AgentBox uses a CNC/extruded aluminum shell as a heat spreader, a quality SoC pad, and active cooling on every SKU — with a vent path that never recirculates hot exhaust.
- ▪ SoC heat spreader with high-conductivity pad
- ▪ NVMe thermal pad where the drive sits near the SoC zone
- ▪ Field-serviceable fan and SSD
- ▪ Reverse-polarity & surge protection, clean shutdown handling
