Independent research / Practical engineering
Deep tech,
without the fog.
Original technical analysis and practical tools for people working across AI infrastructure, semiconductor economics and applied engineering.
01 / Practical tools
Make the numbers useful.
Interactive calculators for exploring technical trade-offs. Change the inputs, inspect the assumptions, and validate the result against your own data.
Local LLM VRAM Calculator
Estimate model-weight, KV-cache and runtime memory for local inference. Compare vLLM and Apple MLX planning scenarios.
IoT Energy Estimator
Explore battery-life scenarios using duty cycle, sleep current, communications activity, temperature and battery assumptions.
Drone Thrust Calculator
Estimate thrust-to-weight ratio, propulsion loading, voltage sag and flight-time scenarios. Check the result against your exact hardware.
Silicon Economics Simulator
Explore gross dies per wafer, defect-limited yield and cost per good die. Change the assumptions to compare scenarios.
02 / How we work
Useful engineering starts with better questions.
WireUnWired turns technical questions into inspectable models and clear analysis. We focus on the assumptions behind a result—not just the number on a dashboard.
That means showing the trade-offs, explaining where an estimate can fail, and helping readers decide what to measure next.
- 01Independent analysisArchitecture, markets and the economics behind technical decisions.
- 02Practical calculatorsModels you can test with your own inputs and assumptions.
- 03Engineering contextLimitations, source links and the questions worth validating in the real world.
03 / Field notes
Lab notes & analysis.
Technical explainers and published research from the lab. News briefs and tool documentation live elsewhere.
