ThoxKey - KICKSTARTER PRELAUNCH
Your AI runtime. On the drive you carry.
ThoxKey™ is a 128 GB drive-resident AI runtime with a native USB-C connector. The models and AI engine live on ThoxKey, while a compatible host supplies the compute. Nothing installs on the host, and unplugging the drive takes the runtime with you.
The Kickstarter campaign is in prelaunch.
Three-color lineup
- Models and engine on the drive
- The model library and AI engine live on ThoxKey instead of being installed on the computer you use.
- Compatible-host compute
- A compatible computer supplies the compute while ThoxKey remains the portable home of the runtime.
- Nothing installs
- The runtime operates from ThoxKey. Unplug it and the runtime leaves with you, without leaving an installation behind.
- 128 GB at launch
- Every launch ThoxKey ships with 128 GB of storage. 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB capacities are on the production roadmap.
- Native USB-C, converter included
- Every ThoxKey has a native USB-C connector and includes one separate USB-A male / USB-C female converter for compatible USB-A host ports.
THOXBEAM™
The whole runtime lives on the drive
Everything ThoxBeam™ needs ships on ThoxKey™: the HTML interface, the Rust/WASM engine, the WGSL compute kernels, the model files, and the tokenizer. There is no separate download and no server component.
No install, no admin rights, no network
The launcher binds loopback on an ephemeral port and gates access with a constant-time token. Nothing is written to the host and nothing is requested from the network.
Cross-origin isolated by construction
COOP, COEP, CORP, CSP, and nosniff are set by the launcher itself, not by a server you do not control.
Signed and integrity-checked
Every asset is covered by a signed manifest, and path traversal is blocked at every component that resolves a path.
Range-addressable model storage
Weights stream off the drive rather than being copied onto the host.
Your data never leaves the machine, because there is nowhere for it to go.
The USB 3.2 Gen 2 specification, up to 10 Gbps, describes the native USB-C interface. It is not a claim about model speed, inference latency, or guaranteed performance.

Live demo
Try the virtual devices
ThoxKey is one of the four devices you can pick. Register with your email, choose a device, and talk to ThoxOS in your browser. Ask for a job the device cannot hold on its own and MeshStack places it on a peer that has room — the data stays inside the mesh.
INTERACTIVE 3D
Every angle
Rotate ThoxKey, switch finishes, and look at the native USB-C connector, the THOXKEY wordmark and green status bar on the top face, the sliding switch and vent slots on the right side, and the included USB-A port converter.
EXTERIOR SPECIFICATION
Every surface
The full exterior sheet for ThoxKey: six orthographic views, the three approved finishes on identical geometry, material swatches, and a feature map of what sits on each face.
