- Worth noticing
- The page describes each Pebble as an isolated Elixir-and-Lua computer; its benchmark reports a 1.6 ms median wake time for a sleeping instance.
Field notes
The site describes each rock as having a small, isolated computer with its own files, Lua, and browser, and says the instance sleeps as a small file between tasks. Its infrastructure breakdown separates server, storage, and model costs, while the page says speech recognition happens on the user's Mac. These are project descriptions and benchmark figures, not independently verified results.
