Self-Contained & Offline-Capable: The core AI runs directly on the device, ensuring instantaneous response without requiring a constant internet connection.

Privacy-First Data Handling: All processing prioritizes user privacy. Personal cooking data is anonymized and dissociated from identity.

"Split-Brain" Architecture: The "little brain" (on-device) processes real-time thermal and sequential data for immediate cues. The optional "big brain" (cloud) handles abstracted, anonymized data for long-term pattern learning and community features, offering the best of both worlds.
