FitStack starts from the job. Recipes belong to their authors.

A guide, not a directory

FitStack starts from the job, not from a logo wall. You say what you are trying to do, what machine you have, and whether the data may leave the building. You get two or three alternatives: the easy cloud path, a builder-in-the-middle, and a local stack when the hardware can carry it.

We do not keep our own install tutorials. The steps live with the people who maintain them — MiaAI-Lab’s Spark recipes, NVIDIA’s playbooks and NemoClaw, OpenClaw, and xAI’s Grok Build surfaces. A field note here is a reason to click, plus an official one-liner when the authors published one.

Cloud rates come from OpenRouter, stamped with the date they were fetched. Street prices, local fits, and electricity are authored ballparks, not live listings. Beginner scores are our own judgement.

Recipes belong to their authors. FitStack does not maintain the install scripts.
