Ghost announced its emergence from stealth today, completing an $11 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz.
Its first product, Core, is a personal computer designed specifically for running AI agents, priced at $3,499. The device includes an Nvidia RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell GPU and comes pre-installed with models like Qwen and Gemma, aiming to let users process data and execute tasks locally without relying on cloud services.
The company states that all source code, logic, and model weights reside on the device, giving users full control. Pre-orders opened Monday, with shipping scheduled for the last week of October.
