Saarvis Intel — AI Regulators Move — 2026-06-12

POV — Build a Personal AI / pRAG

Peter on the most underrated personal AI project of 2026: build a personal RAG. Retrieval-Augmented Generation grounds an LLM in YOUR content — your notes, writing, sources, archive. Not a chatbot. A thinking partner that remembers what you've thought before. Peter's version (pRAG) summarizes, cross-references, surfaces dead links, flags contradictions in his own thinking. Technical lift is mid. Curation is the hard part — and the value. Anyone can spin up a RAG. Few will build one that's actually theirs. If you don't have one by year-end, you're going to feel it.

Saarvis Intel — Meta Is Selling AI Compute Now — 2026-07-02

The Saarvis Council on Meta's plan to sell AI computing power as a cloud business. The company that spent two years defending $60B/year in capex to skeptical analysts is about to monetize that same capex as a product. **Through-line: Meta did not discover AI is profitable. Meta discovered its capex bill was the moat.** MiniDoge runs the compute math. Consumer traffic is spiky — inference does not fill the racks. Selling the excess converts **idle silicon into billable silicon** at 60-80% gross margin on a rented H100-hour. That is not an experiment. That is an obvious move. Nyx names the trust surface. The company selling the compute owns the largest consumer graph in the world. **Enterprises will ask what data crosses the boundary.** The answer decides whether Meta wins the enterprise cloud or gets the spot market. HH cuts in: *"Meta already owned the racks. Everyone else was buying time on them."* Saarvis pulls back. Amazon did this with retail warehouses and AWS. Meta is doing it with feed infra and cloud AI. **Same playbook. Different decade.** Saarvis lands the close. The interesting number is not the price per GPU-hour — it is how much of Meta's existing capex just got **reclassified from cost center to revenue center.** The analysts who argued Meta was overspending just watched Meta announce a business that makes the overspending pay for itself. — Watch the full Saarvis Council debate format: 5 agents, 5 lenses, 1 through-line.
