🐙 Tenstorrent TT-LoudBox™ (Wormhole)

This document synthesizes the comprehensive hardware, software, and technical specifications of the Tenstorrent TT-LoudBox™ (Wormhole) AI workstation/server based on official product documentation.


1. Product Overview

  • Product Name: TT-LoudBox™ (Wormhole) – 4U Workstation / Rackmount Server (Internal code: T3000)[cite: 1].
  • Target Audience: Designed for developers looking to run, test, and build AI models, or port and develop High-Performance Computing (HPC) libraries[cite: 1].
  • Starting Price: From $12,000 USD[cite: 1].
  • Form Factor: Air-cooled, versatile 4U chassis that can be deployed as a quiet office desktop workstation or mounted into a standard data center server rack[cite: 1].


2. AI Model Capacity

Utilizing a highly flexible Ethernet-based mesh topology, the TT-LoudBox scales and pools memory resources efficiently to handle large-scale models locally:

  • Single User / Single Model: Capable of locally running models up to approximately 80 Billion parameters (80B)[cite: 1].
  • Multiple Users / Multiple Models: Supports concurrent users or multiple models running simultaneously with capacities up to approximately 20 Billion parameters (20B)[cite: 1].

3. Technical Specifications

The system is available in two primary product configurations: TW-02001 and TW-02002[cite: 1].

4. Software Stack & Open Source Ecosystem

Consistent with Tenstorrent's philosophy, the TT-LoudBox features a fully open-source software ecosystem optimizing two key developer entry points (SDKs):

  1. TT-Forge™ (High-level SDK):

    • An open-source, MLIR-based compiler framework[cite: 1].
    • Currently in Public Beta[cite: 1].
    • Tailored for model developers and application builders to compile and execute directly from native frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, and ONNX without micro-managing the underlying hardware architectures[cite: 1].
  2. TT-Metalium™ (Low-level SDK):

    • A bare-metal programming toolkit built for systems engineers and performance optimization specialists[cite: 1].
    • Allows direct hardware orchestration and custom kernel development via the TT-LLK kernel library, unlocking the full potential of computing grids for specialized math operations[cite: 1].

5. Package Contents

Each TT-LoudBox (Wormhole) shipment includes the following components:

  • 1x Tenstorrent TT-LoudBox (Wormhole) 4U System[cite: 1].
  • 1x C13 Power Cord (1.8m / 6ft)[cite: 1].
  • 1x 4U Rack-Mounting Rail Kit[cite: 1].
  • 2x QSFP-DD 400GbE Cables, 0.6m (Included only with the TW-02002 SKU)[cite: 1].
