We re the team behind Own 1, and we d like to hear from people who run local models today. Own 1 runs two local LLMs and eight agents on a fanless machine, with no subscriptions and no per-token cost.
A few questions we d love your take on:
What workload would justify buying one? Private document search, coding agents, a shared household or studio assistant, or something else?
Where do you draw the line on cloud use? Own 1 stays on-device by default, bursts to OwnXCloud only under your rules, and never calls a hosted API without your approval. Does that match how you d want it to work?
Would you let an agent spend money? Agents can pay for approved models and compute with USDC through x402, under per-agent budgets and approval thresholds. What limits would you set?
What s missing? Models, ports, apps, or anything else that would stop you from switching from a Mac Studio or a Strix Halo mini PC?
Specs are preliminary until launch, so your feedback can still change what we ship. Ask us anything, including the hard questions about benchmarks and limits.
