What they did
Lyzr Optimus is an on-prem appliance (H200/H100 or AMD chips, cut off from the internet) with the full agent studio preinstalled. Four configurations, from Optimus Personal at $10,000 (a device on an executive's desk) to Optimus Max at $1M (14 bundled models, up to 10,000 concurrent users). Pitched as 95% cheaper than frontier API usage and 30 minutes to set up. Hardware BOM is ~48-50% of the price; the margin comes from the software. Pre-orders opened only to existing clients first, not listed publicly.

- Launch (Launched one week before recording (2026))
“You won't find that on the platform yet because we just started pre-order pre-orders for our existing clients.”
“So there are four configurations that we are launching. Optimus Personal is for the CXOs.”
“I think just the hardware BOM alone is 50%, 48 to 50%.”
“Exactly. Because the real value is the software, right?”
