No. We ship it with high-capacity open-source models. It “knows” out of the box. You can fine-tune later—no blank slate, but full sovereignty from day one.

First—what we ship is already elite. Our models are fast, powerful, and locally trained for high-value cognition: data structuring, summarization, synthesis, technical breakdowns, and real-world reasoning.

That covers 95%+ of all sovereign operator use cases. You’re not buying novelty, you’re buying stability, control, and continuity across decades.

That said, when weighing the risks of uploading new models into your system — the costs far outweigh the negligible benefit.

• Marginal IQ lift: Slightly better in benchmarks, maybe sharper in reasoning—but not orders of magnitude better.

• Bloat: Larger context windows, more token handling, more code tricks—but at the cost of speed, predictability, and local operability.

• Softened outputs: Future GPTs will be more filtered, emotionally manipulative, and aligned with centralized goals. More woke. More censored. We’ve locked down clean variants for you that we use in production.

• Heavily API-locked: You’ll never run GPT-5+ locally. Period. Too big. Too gated. Too controlled.

• Inversion of power: Each upgrade makes you more dependent, not more capable.

What public AI gains in viral reach, it loses in privacy, security, and autonomy. It’s not yours. It's monitored, rate-limited, and subject to censorship, ToS, and remote shutoff.

We do not support the chasing GPT‑5, etc. The real play here is never being owned again.

Because this isn’t mass‑market. It’s not rented. It’s infrastructure. We build for sovereign lineages and business operations, not mass consumer adoption. We have no social media presence and no advertisements.

The degree of effort it takes to source and acquire the proper technology to build OAI units is what separates us from the rest.

We understand that owning steel is the only way to truly OwnAI for the longterm — everything else is living on rented land.

Hardware is modular and straightforward with the support of our instruction manuals.

Maintenance is required longterm, however we provide all replacement parts + manuals in your shipment.

If you’re unsure, we walk you through. No cloud‑trapped repair loops.

No. Internet connectivity from anywhere outside of your home compromises the security of your system from a telemetry and spyware standpoint.

We design every box to run exclusively on your LAN (local area network within your home) via ethernet or wifi-chip.

Home is where the trust is, this is how your system is meant to be deployed.

No—and that’s by design. Your current devices are gridlocked enemy territory: full of non-removable telemetry, firmware backdoors, and constant upstream syncing you can’t shut off.

Anyone offering “sovereign” AI with the ability to access it from anywhere is neglecting critical layers of digital sovereignty/ownership on an OS, hardware, and firmware level. Ultimately in these cases, you do not own it.

Instead, we provide clean, optimized Apple interfaces (iPads, iMacs) that are hardened, offline, and surgically configured to interact with your OwnAI unit without compromise.

Consumer tech is surveillance tech. We don’t let the fox guard the henhouse.

Every OwnAI unit is built as a low-EMF, signal-contained fortress.
We take shielding seriously — not just for machine protection, but for yours.

• Chassis: Lined with military-grade Faraday mesh and EMP-rated conductive paint.

• Grounding: Full-body steel grounding + copper wire extension to route charge away from the system and into a stable path.

• Signal:

  • All internal data transmission runs on optical fiber — zero RF, zero EMI.

  • Wireless is optional via an external antenna mount. Wired is the default.

• Fans + Power: All electrical components are filtered to emit below standard safety thresholds for EMF and magnetic flux.

• No Bluetooth, no always-on wireless, no passive broadcast channels.

This is not a typical tower. It’s an intentional electromagnetic shelter built for those who understand the long game of health, privacy, and mission-critical uptime.

Climate-stable, low humidity, regular power. Keep it in a closet or home office, or basement with no risk of flooding.

You get full backups to encrypted external drives and memory storage—and we provide faraday bags to store miscellaneous components.

Everything you need:

• OwnAI box

• Pre-installed stack and software

• Optimized user interfaces (iMacs/iPads) with charging components

• Power cords, cables, kill‑switch module, surge protectors.

• Replacement parts for every internal machine component. Number of replacements depends on the model.

• Faraday chassis to protect the tower

• Copper grounding wire

• Faraday bag for protection of unused and/or replacement components

• Manuals and instructions

Guardian: 60–100 years

Sanctum: 90–150 years

Ark: 125–200 years

Covenant: 150–250 years

This is what we engineer for. No guarantees if you improperly maintain the machine, exceed recommended usage thresholds, lose replacement parts, or create accidental damage.

Disciplined, but minimal.

• Dusting regularly is great practice.

• You will swap drives, fans, and various components every certain number of years. Some components have shorter lifespans of 5-15 years, others can last longer — 30+ years.

• Climate control is essential. Do not store in a hot, humid environment.

You get lifetime guides and support via encrypted comms—not cloud tickets.

Not unlimited—but far beyond anything you’ve used before. You get multi-bay SSD architecture, local encrypted backups, and expansion support via replacement parts.

Logs, chats, and structured data accumulate slowly. You’ll hit decades of growth before approaching your limits—and when you do, you expand via the backup drives we provide.

This isn’t public AI’s leased brain with shared servers and capped context. It’s your own server, designed to scale with your mission.

As far as we have seen — there aren’t any real competitors in our lane.

This is sovereignty baked into steel, not easy to download software. This is the closest to sovereignty you can possibly get.

The closest competitor we know of also calls themselves “ownAI”— but they’re pushing app-store, Android/Apple OS level licenses and downloadable software at $20/mo.

To be clear — that’s not sovereignty. They have chosen branding and mass-market scale over backbone — and are swapping convenience for control on several critical levels.

Everyone else is renting and spawning consumer tools off of OpenAI lineage LLM’s or API’s.

We’re shipping forever. This is like vinyl record vs Spotify.

No. They’re raw, open models. No cloud bias. No censorship. You fine-tune and prompt however you like.

We did not build this to host censored models. You’ve got sovereignty.

This box doesn’t care. You run offline, offline updates via USB, no cloud checks. Built to survive shutdown.

Note: “Banned” does not mean it’s lawful to take it from you.

In any case — do not openly air the fact on public platforms/stages that you OwnAI.
