OFFLINE AI. UNCOMPROMISED.

The Micro Vault is a plug-and-play on-device intelligence workstation that runs entirely on your desk. No cloud. No subscriptions. No compromises.

Compute RTX 3090 / RTX 5070 Ti
Speed 90–110 tok/s

Your AI should work for you.
Not for a server farm 2,000 miles away.

Every query you send to the cloud is a dependency. On uptime. On pricing. On someone else's privacy policy. The VAULT eliminates all three.

"The moment your intelligence lives on your hardware,
it answers to you — and only you."

Cloud private intelligence is borrowed intelligence. Rate-limited, retention-tracked, and one outage away from silence. Private intelligence on your desk is yours — always on, always private, answering at full speed whether or not the internet exists.

0 + documented cloud AI outages
since October 2025
Zero on a machine that never connects

Unbox. Plug In. Run on-device intelligence.

No driver installs. No stack configuration. No weekend lost to debugging.

Power On

Plug into power and ethernet. The VAULT auto-detects your GPU, verifies pre-loaded models, and starts all services automatically.

Open Your Browser

Navigate to localhost:3000. A guided welcome wizard appears — choose your use case, connect optional services.

You're Running Local Intelligence

Full local inference. Persistent memory. 12 MCP servers active. All models preloaded. Zero configuration required.

5 min

Setup — not 5 hours

DIY local inference takes 4–8 hours for a skilled developer. VAULT ships pre-configured, pre-tested, and ready on first boot.

12

MCP Servers. Zero configuration.

Filesystem, Git, browser automation, database, memory, sequential thinking — all pre-wired, tested, and verified before your machine ships.

Mem0

Persistent memory across every session

Switch between models freely. Your context follows you. No re-explaining. No 24-hour sync delays. Memory that's truly yours — stored locally, never shared.

Watch what 3 lbs of precision hardware delivers.

POWERED OFF

It arrives. Silent. Ready.

AWAKENING

Pre-installed. Pre-tested. Pre-yours.

ONLINE

One desk. Full speed. No cloud.

Micro Vault — offline AI workstation

Micro Vault delivers in three ways.

Hardware that outpaces the competition. Software that just works. Memory that never forgets. All three running on your desk, offline, under your control.

We Listened.
Then We Built.

These aren't hypothetical problems. They're documented failures reported thousands of times across Reddit, GitHub Issues, and developer forums. The Micro Vault was designed to solve every one.

PROBLEM

MCP server configuration is fragile and fails silently.

~12% of MCP installations fail due to missing configuration. Different installation methods require incompatible formats — but this is undocumented. You spend hours debugging what should take minutes.

VAULT SOLUTION

12 MCP servers ship pre-configured and tested. Every server verified by hand before your machine leaves our facility. Filesystem, Git, browser automation, database, memory — all active on first boot.

PROBLEM

Context window loss destroys work mid-session.

Auto-compaction silently drops critical instructions. The /resume command recovers only 20–40% of original context. Users spend 5+ hours per week re-explaining the same context to cloud tools.

VAULT SOLUTION

Mem0 persistent memory survives every session, every model switch, every reboot. Switch between Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek freely. Your context follows. No re-explaining. No 24-hour sync delays. Your memory — stored locally, never shared.

PROBLEM

Zero offline capability. All processing on remote servers.

Cloud private intelligence retained consumer data up to 5 years. 233+ outages tracked since October 2025. You have no fallback when the internet is slow, restricted, or controlled by someone else's policy.

VAULT SOLUTION

No data leaves your machine. Ever. No cloud dependency. No retention policies. No outages. The VAULT operates fully offline — HIPAA, GDPR, and EU AI Act ready from the moment it boots.

Choose Your Configuration.

Both tiers ship with the full VAULT software stack — pre-configured, pre-tested, ready on first boot.

The Mac Mini solders everything shut. The VAULT uses standard AM5, DDR5, PCIe x16, and M.2 — the same sockets every PC builder has used for years. Your system grows with the technology, not against it.

  • GPU: When the RTX 6090 ships, pull four screws and swap the card. Any PCIe x16 GPU that fits in an 18L case works.
  • RAM: Two DDR5 DIMM slots. When 128GB kits drop in price, double your capacity. Add RAM without replacing anything else.
  • Storage: M.2 NVMe slot. When 4TB drives hit $200, expand without opening a support ticket. Your data stays exactly where it is.

Your workstation evolves with the field of local intelligence. Not the other way around.

Built for People Who Take Privacy Seriously.

The patent-pending VAULT architecture was designed from the ground up for regulated industries, sensitive workflows, and anyone who believes their data belongs to them.

HIPAA Ready

No PHI ever leaves the device. Inference runs entirely on-device with no cloud transmission path.

GDPR Compliant

No data processed outside your jurisdiction. No third-party processors. No DPA required.

EU AI Act Ready

Hardware-enforced data containment. Full audit trail via local logs. No provider dependency for compliance.

ITAR Compatible

Air-gapped operation by design. No model weights transmitted. All inference on controlled hardware.

"Patent-pending architecture with hardware-enforced one-way data link. No cloud private intelligence can match this level of containment."

Frequently Asked Questions

The Micro Vault Core runs 8B models at 90–110 tok/s. A Mac Mini M4 Pro 24GB runs the same models at 20–30 tok/s. That's a 3–5× speed advantage. The RTX 3090's 936 GB/s memory bandwidth compared to the M4 Pro's 273 GB/s explains the gap. The VAULT also runs 32B models fully in VRAM — the Mac Mini 24GB cannot load them at all. The Mac Mini wins on power draw (20–40W vs. 350–400W) and noise — real tradeoffs we don't hide.

Yes — completely. All models run on-device. All software runs locally. Once your machine is set up, it operates indefinitely offline. The only time internet is useful is for pulling new models from the Ollama library or receiving software updates, both of which are optional and user-initiated.

The Core tier (RTX 3090 24GB) ships with Qwen 3 8B for general tasks, Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B for coding, DeepSeek R1 8B Distill for reasoning, and nomic-embed-text for embeddings and RAG. The Pro tier (RTX 5070 Ti 16GB) ships with models tuned for its 16GB GDDR7 VRAM. You can pull any of 1,200+ Ollama models from the UI at any time.

Yes — that's a core design principle. The Micro Vault uses a standard AM5 CPU socket (supported through at least 2027), two DDR5 DIMM slots, a PCIe x16 GPU slot, and an M.2 NVMe port. All components are standard, screwdriver-accessible, and swappable. When the RTX 6090 ships, you swap the GPU. When 128GB DDR5 kits drop in price, you add RAM. No soldering, no voided warranties, no proprietary parts.

The $100 deposit secures your place in the production queue. It is fully refundable at any time before your machine ships — no questions asked. Expected shipping is Q3 2026. You will receive email updates as your build approaches.

The full VAULT software stack includes: Ollama (inference engine), Open WebUI (browser interface at localhost:3000), AnythingLLM (document workflows), Mem0 OpenMemory MCP server (persistent local memory), 12 pre-configured MCP servers (Filesystem, Git, Playwright, Docker, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Gmail/Calendar, and more), n8n workflow automation, Goose development agents, Faster-whisper for local voice input, and Piper TTS for local voice output. All services start automatically on boot via Docker Compose.

The Micro Vault is designed to support HIPAA, GDPR, and EU AI Act compliance. Because all inference runs on-device, no patient data, personal data, or sensitive information is transmitted to any external server. There is no cloud component, no third-party processor, and no data retention by Vault AI. Organizations deploying in regulated environments should conduct their own compliance assessment — we can provide architecture documentation to support that review.
