The Secure Bridge: Connecting Local Vision to Cloud Intelligence

Merging Local Vision with Cloud Brains

The final piece is the communication layer between the local hypervisor and the “Cloud Brain” without public internet exposure.

The Hybrid Architecture

  1. Local Edge: The laptop handles real-time tasks (vision, recognition) using low-power hardware (2-watt TPU).
  2. The Tunnel (Tailscale/WireGuard): An encrypted, private bridge makes the remote VPS feel “local.”
  3. The API Trigger: The cloud node only wakes up when a high-intensity request is detected, receives encrypted context, and returns the response.

Conclusion: We aren’t just consumers; we are builders of a Hybrid AI Workstation that offers 10x the power at 25% of the cost.
