VaultAI is a portable AI workstation pre-loaded on a high-speed USB SSD. It contains up to 46 AI models that run 100% locally on your Mac or PC. No internet required, no cloud services, no subscriptions — plug it in and start using AI immediately.

ChatGPT runs on OpenAI's cloud servers — your conversations are sent to their infrastructure, stored on their servers, and potentially used for training. VaultAI runs entirely on your computer using your USB drive. Nothing is ever sent anywhere. You also get multiple models instead of one, uncensored options, and no monthly fees.

No. VaultAI works 100% offline. The optional web search feature uses DuckDuckGo if you want to pull in current information, but all AI processing happens locally on your hardware.

No. VaultAI is a one-time purchase. You own the hardware and the software. There are no recurring fees, no token limits, no usage caps. Use it as much as you want, forever.

Plug the SSD into any USB-C port on your computer. On Mac, double-click the VaultAI launcher on the drive. On Windows, double-click the .bat file. That's it — no installation, no account creation, no configuration.

VaultAI works with any Mac (macOS 12+) or PC (Windows 10+) that has a USB-C port. For best performance, use a USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt port. The SSD includes a USB-C cable.

Core: 16 GB minimum.
Pro: 32 GB minimum, 64 GB recommended for the largest models.
Ultra: 64 GB minimum, 128 GB recommended.

VaultAI automatically detects your system's RAM and recommends models that will run well on your hardware. Smaller models work great even on 16 GB.

No. VaultAI runs on your CPU and system RAM. Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/M3/M4) perform especially well because they share memory between CPU and GPU. On Windows, a dedicated GPU can help with larger models and image generation but is not required.

Yes. VaultAI requires zero network connections. All AI processing happens on your computer using models stored on your USB drive. Your conversations, documents, and images never leave your device. There is no telemetry, no analytics, no cloud sync, and no account to create.

Everything goes with the SSD. Your conversations, projects, and all AI models live on the drive. When you unplug it, no trace remains on the host computer. Plug it into a different computer and pick up where you left off.

Uncensored (or "abliterated") models have had refusal behaviors removed. Cloud AI services add content filters because they're liable for their service output. Since VaultAI runs on your own hardware, you can choose models that answer directly without corporate guardrails. Every tier includes them — 6 on Core, 8 on Pro, and 11 on Ultra, including Dolphin 3 8B Uncensored, GPT-OSS 20B Abliterated, and DeepSeek-R1 70B Uncensored.

All tiers: AI chat, writing assistance, research, reasoning, code help, image analysis (drag-and-drop), image generation, medical models, private search across your own documents, project organization, prompt library, web search

Pro & Ultra add: larger and more specialized models, five coding models, five vision models, the full 27-billion-parameter medical model, and a second image engine

Yes. Every drive ships with free space left over, and you can add more models from inside the app.

Speed depends on your hardware and the model size. Smaller models (1B-8B) respond nearly instantly. Medium models (12B-32B) generate at conversational speed. Larger models (70B+) are slower but more capable. VaultAI shows the speed in the interface so you can choose the right model for your task.

Core ($399): Perfect for students, writers, and anyone who wants private AI chat with vision capabilities. 21 models on a 256GB drive. Works with 16 GB RAM.

Pro ($499): Best for professionals, developers, and creators. 35 models including two image engines, the full medical model, and 5 coding models on a 512GB drive.

Ultra ($599): Maximum power. 46 models including a flagship 235B parameter model, 11 uncensored options, and two image engines on a 1TB drive.
