Funding and Infrastructure Goals

GremlinGPT is growing. It learns(as do I while finishing GremlinGPT). It Launches(Soon). The project is reaching the limits of what a solo builder can finish without external support. The next stage—deployment, agent orchestration, and memory stability, an infrastructure investment to move into full time Development.

Funding Target is $500,000

Funds will be used to secure:

• A Trading account to be able to move into Full-Time Development
• Dedicated small GPU cluster (RTX 4090 × 2 minimum)
• Persistent vector DB for others and hosted runtime servers for others who cant afford a system
• Ensuring Secure DevOps pipeline for offline + encrypted agents for the ones who cant secure thier own hardware.

If You Are

• A founder with cloud real estate and idle GPUs
• A data center operator who understands sovereign AI
• An investor looking for a stake in recursive autonomy

🧪 Test Compatibility

This theme works best on:

• Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Arch, Pop!_OS, Mint
• GRUB 2.06+ with plymouth installed
• Systems with EFI framebuffer enabled (disable Secure Boot)

---

❌ Known Issues

• Windows Boot Logo: If dual booting, some UEFI systems may show the Windows logo due to BGRT fallback. The theme disables BGRT, but some firmware may ignore it.
• Low-res Scaling: On older BIOS systems, animation may downscale or stutter.
