Set up the backend Jarvis needs.
Hephaistos is the app. Jarvis needs a backend. Pick one path:
self-host on your own machine, or use paid Hephaistos Cloud hosting
when you do not want to operate a server.
Path A — Self-host
Use this if you want inference on your own hardware.
- Open Hephaistos and choose Server Detection or Local AI setup.
- Prepare a supported host. The maintained path today is Mac Apple Silicon with MLX-VLM.
- Follow the private account-guided setup material shown by the app.
- Return to the app and pair the host securely.
Path B — Hephaistos Cloud
Use this if you want Jarvis without maintaining a server.
- Open Hephaistos and choose the Cloud hosting option where available.
- Review the subscription price in the app or store checkout before activation.
- Activate the subscription.
- Return to Jarvis; the app connects to the managed Hephaistos backend.
What this website will not do
- It will not give you a public shell command to install the private backend.
- It will not ask normal users to create a database dashboard.
- It will not pretend Linux, Windows or custom runtimes are one-click normal-user setups.
