Founder, benchmarks, compare, architecture, and this logsite
Published the founder page. Name, photo, career record, and the reason a sales rep is building a server.
Published the benchmarks page with source cited tokens per second for Llama 3.1 8B, Qwen 14B, Mistral 7B, and larger models on comparable Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 hardware, plus RAG latency reference points. Every number is labeled with where it came from.
Published the compare page: Node vs Mac mini M4 Pro, NVIDIA DGX Spark, a DIY mini PC build, and cloud APIs, with sourced prices and specs.
Published the architecture page with diagrams of the software stack, request flow, and operating modes.
Labeled every product image on the site as a concept render. Prototype photography replaces them when the first engineering unit exists.
Reservation counter now hides the reserved count and progress bar until ten units are reserved. Serial numbers are still assigned in order.
Added 'Secure checkout by Stripe' next to every reserve button.
Added a mobile navigation menu, schema.org Person and BreadcrumbList markup, and a proper 404 page.
Cut repeated taglines from the homepage and made overwatchnode.net the only domain in the footer.
Data sovereignty guide, blog routes, readability passsite
Blog moved from an embedded widget to server rendered routes at /blog/ and /blog/slug/, with a dynamic sitemap and RSS feed. First article: Data Sovereignty AI Infrastructure You Own.
Homepage contrast and readability pass. Added the plain language at a glance specs block above the full technical table.
Moved to overwatchnode.netsite
Registered overwatchnode.net and moved the product site from overwatchai.net/overwatch-node to its own domain on a Cloudflare Worker.
301 redirects in place from overwatchai.net/overwatch-node, node.overwatchai.net, and www.overwatchnode.net.
Local AI Server positioning and the OverwatchOS control planeproduct
Repositioned the Node as a private local AI server centered on data sovereignty, with the three operating modes (Local, Closed Loop, Connected) spelled out.
Added the OverwatchOS control plane section explaining that the Node can direct other compute on your network.

First engineering unit
Physical prototype in the production enclosure. Photographs replace the concept renders on this site the week the unit arrives.
Measured benchmarks
Tokens per second on the actual Node for every model on the benchmarks page, plus measured idle and full load wattage and thermals under sustained load.
OverwatchOS image freeze
Pinned component versions and the published software license for the first shipping image.
Blog cadence
Two articles a month minimum, starting September 2026.
Reserve a serial. Watch it get built.
Every reservation gets the same log, the same dates, and the same photographs when they exist. $999 once. Free shipping.
