This is Part 11 of the series. The robot's vision has been local since Part 4, but its brain — the reasoning model the Strands Agent runs on — has been Amazon Bedrock. This post moves the brain on-device too: local Nemotron served by Ollama becomes the default, and Amazon Bedrock is demoted to a single opt-in env var.

This is Part 1 of a series that builds a Reachy Mini Lite desk robot driven by a Strands agent running entirely on-device on an NVIDIA Jetson Thor. Say "Hey Reachy" (or publish an MQTT message) and a fresh agent wakes up, decides which tool it needs — move its head and body, see the room with a local vision model, express an emotion, or answer questions about IoT sensor data in an AWS data lake — speaks one short sentence, and tears itself down. Idle is pure-local and $0: no cloud, no LLM tokens, just an offline wake-word listener.
