Linux-ready out of the box

Build DIY Edition and install your choice of Linux distro, or pick up a pre-built and get pre-installed Fedora ready to go out of the box.

Run DeepSeek V4.1 Flash in one box

Framework Desktop can handle bigger models than ever with up to 192GB of LPDDR5X. Run 300B-class models at 4-bit quantization with headroom to spare for extra context length. Up to 16 high-performance Zen 5 CPU cores means your OpenClaw or Hermes Agent can power through application and tool-calling too.

Popular open models you can run

It's a workstation too!

A small form factor Framework Desktop sits on a dark wooden desk next to a monitor displaying a complex 3D Blender scene.

Framework Desktop is a standard PC that just happens to use a one-of-a-kind, monstrous processor from AMD. Use it for software development, editing video in Premiere and Resolve, building scenes in Blender, gaming at 1440p on AAA titles, or as your overkill daily driver in Linux or Windows.

Full set of I/O

A side-by-side diagram showing the rear and front ports of a Framework Desktop with text callouts indicating the following specifications:

Rear Ports: 1x HDMI, 2x USB-C (USB4), 2x DisplayPort, 2x USB-A, 1x 5Gbit Ethernet, and 1x 3.5mm Audio Jack.

Front Expansion card system with two slots than can support: USB-C (3.2 Gen 2), USB-A (3.2 Gen 1), 3.5mm Audio Jack, MicroSD, SD, 2.5Gbit Ethernet, or 250 GB / 1 TB Storage expansions.

Two Framework Expansion Card slots on the front let you adjust your most commonly used ports. Choose between USB-C, USB-A, 3.5mm audio jack, microSD, SD, Storage, Ethernet. Around the back, a full set of rear I/O handles your displays, network, and peripherals.

PC parts, your pick

Scattered around the workspace are various computer components, including a cooling fan, modular expansion cards, loose screws, a small screwdriver, and frame panels.

Framework Desktop is built on a standard Mini-ITX Mainboard, FlexATX power supply, and 120mm CPU fan, so you can pull the Mainboard on its own and build a custom desktop around it. Dual M.2 2280 slots let you add and upgrade NVMe storage right off the shelf.

Framework Desktops have multiple paths for clustering to run even larger models. USB4 offers a simple and convenient path for enabling pipeline parallelism or multi-agent clusters. The PCIe x4 slot lets you connect high-speed, low-latency 50Gbps RoCE NICs like the Intel E810 to enable high-performance tensor parallelism. The Ryzen™ AI Max+ PRO 495 config has an open-ended version of the PCIe x4 slot, letting you plug in x8 and x16 cards directly without needing a riser adapter. Start with one node today, and add more whenever your models demand it.

Fun-sized form factor

On the left, a person carries a small Framework Desktop by an attached top handle, showcasing its portability. On the right, a line drawing blueprint details the exact dimensions and weight: 96.8mm in width, 205.5mm in depth, 226.1mm in height, and a weight of 3.1 kg.

Framework Desktop is 96.8mm by 205.5mm by 226.1mm and weighs 3.1kg, small and light enough to pick up with one hand and carry by the optional handle. It fits on a shelf, a desk corner, or in a backpack, wherever a full desktop tower has never fit before.

Community projects

The Framework Desktop was built to be yours. Check out how our community members made theirs their own, with projects ranging from front panel monitors and geometric tiles to under-desk mounts and rack builds. Open source is core to how we build, and you can find our hardware and software resources on our GitHub.
