About
I'm Matt. I build products alone. The Solo Stack is the field notes from that work: SOTA models and local models, infrastructure I own, tool reviews with the gotcha included, and what breaks.
Numbers when I have them. Exact commands when they matter. If a claim can't be backed by experience or a measurement, it doesn't ship.
This site runs on Pyre — self-hosted publishing I control. Feed: /rss.xml.
Notes ship when they're finished. Quiet is a stall, not a brand.
Start here
- Thirty Days of Grok Heavy Build— a month of real sessions: tokens, cost, and what held.
- The DGX Spark shutdown owners keep hitting is CPU-side— 23.9-hour soak on hardware I own.
- Replacing Ghost with Pyre— owned publishing, including what broke.
