The local machine is becoming the agent platform

The next chapter of personal computing is not another tab. As consumer CPUs, GPUs, memory, and local models improve, more useful reasoning can happen on the machine you already own.\n\nKarnelian is being built around that shift. The Harness gives agents a governed place to operate with memory, scoped capabilities, approvals, and an inspectable ledger. The goal is practical autonomy that stays close to the person it serves.\n\nLocal-first does not mean isolated. It means the machine becomes the trusted center, with hosted models available when a task genuinely benefits from them.
