Why Hardware Integration Matters
OtherU requires a trusted execution and interaction path. The Framework Desktop provides high-performance local inference while JetKVM creates a deterministic, out-of-band control channel for any connected computer — no software installation required on the target machine.
Framework Desktop
OtherU is designed around the Framework Desktop with an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo) processor.
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo, 16-core Zen 5) |
| GPU | AMD Radeon 8060S iGPU (gfx1151, RDNA3.5) |
| Memory | 128 GB unified (CPU + GPU share the same pool) |
| Storage | 8 TB NVMe SSD |
| OS | Fedora 44 Server Edition |
Why unified memory matters: The iGPU accesses all 128 GB of system RAM directly. Models that would require a high-end discrete GPU — including 46 GB+ LLMs — run on this machine without any discrete GPU card.
JetKVM Role
JetKVM is a compact hardware device that provides:
- HDMI capture — real-time visual context at full resolution via WebRTC
- USB HID injection — deterministic mouse and keyboard control of any computer
- Out-of-band management — operates regardless of target OS state (BIOS, lock screen, crashed OS)
The target machine sees only a USB keyboard and mouse — no drivers or agents needed.
Integration Pattern
ds4-Server (port 8000) → Hermes Agent → tool dispatch
│
├── JetKVM screenshot → vision → response
├── /mouse/move → USB HID mouse movement
├── /mouse/click → USB HID click
└── /keyboard/type → USB HID typing
Hermes Agent's computer-use tools drive the JetKVM directly (WebRTC capture + USB HID injection); the legacy port-8005 bridge is retired.
