One box. One promise: it just works.
Base Router is in development. It is designed as a finished appliance with the software and AI already loaded, ready to join your network without a keyboard, monitor, or technical setup.
Base Router is the step after Base Drive, our first product: the same private AI, moved onto dedicated, always-on hardware.

Straight talk: This is designed to be a strong box, but it will still be a desktop product. For the hardest questions, it may ask permission to use outside help.
Preview only. Base Router is not available to order.
A small computer. Your AI. Nothing else.
No mystery hardware: a shell, a compute board, and storage where the models and your documents live as ordinary files. There is no microphone and no camera, because an appliance that holds your private work shouldn’t have either.
- · The AI is files on the storage layer, yours to inspect
- · Your documents never leave that same layer
- · Nothing inside listens, watches, or phones home
The same model. A practical target.
Bigger models read better but generate slower. Pick a model and watch a preview based on the planned Base Router hardware, so you know what each one is designed to feel like.

Typing speed mirrors real tokens/second for IBM Granite 4.1 8B. Tuned for documents and business tasks.
We’d rather under-promise.
A small box on your desk is a different tool than a huge cloud chatbot. Here’s the honest shape of it, so nothing about your box is a surprise.
It’s not ChatGPT. The AI included here is capable and genuinely useful, but it will not match the largest cloud systems on the hardest questions. That is why outside help is always optional and always requires your approval.
Speed is practical, not instant. Base Router is designed to respond at a steady conversational pace. Very long answers and large documents will take more time.
Base Router runs warm. Base Router is planned with active cooling (a small quiet fan) so it can keep working through longer sessions.
Updates can ship on a USB stick. Updates are checked before they install, and the previous version is kept in case you need to roll back. Offices that stay offline can stay offline.
