   a16z leads $11M round for Ghost, whose screenless Core AI computer costs $3,499

   Ghost, founded by 19-year-old CEO Zain Javaid, came out of stealth with an $11 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), with Abstract, Audacious Ventures, SV Angel and Nova participating, and launched its first product: Core, a screenless, keyboard-less personal AI computer priced at $3,499 that its website says has already sold out, with shipping expected in the last week of October. Core packs an NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition GPU with 24GB GDDR7, 64GB DDR5 memory, a 1TB NVMe SSD and an AMD Ryzen 5 7600, and ships preinstalled with models including Qwen 3.8-Next, Qwen 3.8-27B and Gemma 4-31B, with users free to install others. Ghost says models, memories and personal data run and are stored encrypted mainly on-device with no usage-based AI subscription, and that it is building an "agent firewall" that monitors network requests and blocks unauthorized actions, plus OTA-style model updates.
