Oki Home explained
Local AI
vs cloud AI.
Cloud AI runs on a provider’s servers and sees whatever you send it. Local AI runs on hardware you own. Oki Home is built around the second kind, and this page explains what that changes.
Where the model runs decides where your data goes.
Every question to a cloud model travels to a data center along with the context needed to answer it. For a personal assistant that means your photos, messages, and files leave your hands, and your access depends on a subscription that can change.
Oki’s model runs on Oki Home itself. Your questions and your data stay in your home, and there is no cloud subscription for the intelligence. The model, the memory, and the work all happen in one box.
Serious hardware, so local does not mean limited.
Oki Home runs a 27-billion-parameter model around the clock on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with GDDR7 memory, alongside the processing and storage that keep everything else moving. Ethernet and Wi‑Fi 7 give fast access across your home.
Because the model is always on, Oki can do its work in the background: reading new material, connecting it with what came before, and preparing answers before you ask. See how Oki Home works for the full picture.
Local AI with real context.
A model is only as useful as what it knows about you. Running locally lets Oki work with your whole history, every photo, message, and file on one timeline, without that history ever being uploaded to a third party for analysis.
That is what makes Oki Home a memory computer rather than a chatbot: the intelligence grows from your own context, and the understanding it builds stays yours to keep.
What still uses the internet.
Local AI is the foundation, not a wall. Some features need a connection: reaching Oki from your phone or laptop while you are away, services you choose to connect, and optional cloud models you may decide to use for a task.
Those connections have their own data-sharing boundaries, and you decide which to enable. Software, system, and AI model updates arrive over the air and install only with your approval. The Q&A covers the details.
Yours to build on.
Oki Home includes a Linux environment for building custom apps and running your own AI models. Developers can build on Oki, experiment with the hardware, or put it to work on something entirely different.
