Your agent deserves a home
The new Puppy One on Apple silicon launch experience replaces the generic platform matrix for Apple. Five memory tiers - Puppy One 32, 64, 128, and 256 · 512 - each anchored to Apple's published starting prices for the M6 Mac mini, M5 Pro Mac mini, M5 Max Mac Studio, and M5 Ultra Mac Studio announced August 25, with the price promise stated per order and Apple named as the source of truth for hardware pricing. All artwork is original hussh illustration; every hardware claim cites Apple's own announcements.
The tokens-per-watt thesis
Token per watt is the full research article: why tokens per joule is the honest metric, what Apple's published bandwidth figures let us predict, what nobody has measured yet, and the PuppyBench commitment - no wall-power claim before real hardware is measured, beginning the day the machines ship on September 22, 2026. Estimates are labelled as estimates; community measurements are credited; configurations with no honest fit say so.
The catalog, rebuilt by maker
The Puppy One catalog is reorganized by the maker you trust: Apple first, then Google, NVIDIA, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Supermicro, Asus, Acer, Samsung, and the rest of the Puppy One 100. Big readable type, one price promise band, a dated verification legend, and original hussh artwork only.
Puppy One, always
The retired product name was still present in 183 places across the site. Every one is renamed to Puppy One, and the brand guard now permanently reports any reappearance of a retired name, so a name the founder retired once never needs retiring twice.
One correction, published with its fix
After the ship, live verification found that the old /blogs/tokens-per-watt address served a 404 instead of redirecting to the research article. The cause was a duplicate configuration block that silently discarded the redirect. The fix shipped the same night with a guard test that makes the mistake impossible to repeat, and the redirect is now verified live: the old address answers with a permanent redirect to the research article.
