MirrorDNA: Personal AI Infrastructure on Consumer Hardware

I just published a new paper: MirrorDNA: Personal AI Infrastructure on Consumer Hardware . It documents 10 months of building a fully sovereign AI operating system — one person, one Mac Mini M4, $120/month. What is Personal AI Infrastructure? Personal AI Infrastructure (PAI) is a new category of computing: an individual builds, owns, and operates a complete AI system on hardware they control. No cloud dependency. No platform governance. Everything inspectable. MirrorDNA is a working PAI system. Here's what runs on a single Mac Mini M4 with 24 GB unified memory: 61 autonomous services with a cryptographic governance layer 85+ LaunchAgent daemons for persistent orchestration 260 operational scripts (66,000+ lines) 51,000+ note knowledge vault (17 GB, Obsidian-compatible) 5 edge devices in a Tailscale mesh 4 local Ollama models for on-device inference Tiered execution : Claude (Tier 1) → Gemini (Tier 2) → Local Ollama (Tier 3) Total monthly cost: $120 (Claude Max + ChatGPT Plus).
