Hardware highlights include Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with 24 cores up to 5.4 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile with 24 GB, 96 GB DDR5 RAM, and a 2 TB NVMe SSD in a compact chassis.

The platform combines top-tier CPU, GPU, and fast memory (GDDR7) to support demanding AI tasks like text generation, image processing, and video rendering.

Additional specs include 1824 AI TOPS, 175 W TGP, PCIe 4.0 NVMe, and a compact form factor (roughly 320 x 197 x 55 mm, about 2.15 kg).

Automatic AI model management, an app marketplace, and compatibility with models like Olama and GPT OSS are supported, though very large models may require CPU offloading.

The system supports a broad local AI toolchain, including chat agents, retrieval-augmented generation, document/media management, observability, and a no-CLI Kubernetes interface for power users.

Beyond AI, it can function as a home server and supports gaming and Windows workloads, with GPU sharing modes to allocate resources efficiently.

Open source and privacy-first design underpin the product, with Olares OS available on GitHub to customize the platform and prioritize on-device processing.

The Olares One is a portable, high-performance local AI workstation designed for developers, tech enthusiasts, and professionals who want privacy-first data handling and the flexibility to work from anywhere, serving as a versatile home server and workstation.

Pricing notes place a pre-order price at $2,899, with an argument that ownership is cost-efficient for five-person teams compared with yearly AI subscriptions totaling about €32,280, underscoring the freedom from ongoing fees.

Cooling and acoustics are optimized with a 2.8 mm vapor chamber, a 176-layer copper heatsink, two 54-blade fans, yielding idle noise around 19 dB and under load about 38.8 dB while keeping temperatures near 43.8°C.

The device’s performance is benchmarked against Mac Studio and Nvidia DJX Spark to help users set realistic expectations for capabilities.

Software is comprehensive and open-source, featuring Kubernetes orchestration, a user dashboard, and robust security with multi-factor authentication, VPN, and secure remote access via a personal URL.
