MY AI WORKFLOW

CARBON

Carter’s Adaptive Remote Backend & Orchestration Network

From the devices beside me to wider resources.

Computers and storage, connected around me. From the two Macs I know best to remote resources, it is a personal computing environment I manage and use together with AI.

01 / DAILY

Where I work

The Mac mini and MacBook are the workspaces I use most. They are where I start thinking, talk with AI, and reach the whole environment.

02 / REACH

Resources that widen over SSH

They connect out to the GPU machine at home and the lab workstations, so I can use the compute a job needs from the device in front of me.

03 / KEEP

Where the work stays

The NAS holds files, data and backups. Whatever the device, what the work needs stays within one environment.
