The HausJam stack has a speed roadmap, quantization, Torch.compile, a model that should eventually run on integrated graphics, including an old MacBook Pro, but Titus ordered the work the opposite of the usual launch panic: get the output good enough to decide a sofa, then spend the compile pass. A twenty-second clean and a twenty-second lighting estimate are painful, and still less damaging than a fast room that sells the wrong dimensions. The beginner-friendly web stack came up too, Supabase and Vercel as a default, and it did not change the order. Latency is a product problem you can profile. A wrong world is a product problem you cannot refund with a spinner. Ship the quality bar that makes the screenshot honest, then attack the seconds.
