$1M in a Week: Olares One’s Kickstarter Debut

Just one week after launch, Olares One has rapidly surpassed $1 million in orders on the Kickstarter platform.

This success highlights an un-met market demand: while online Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, for many professionals, owning a physical device that offers complete control, high performance, and guaranteed privacy is an essential requirement.

Building on this momentum, we are officially announcing a partnership between Olares One and Mobvoi. The two successful AI hardware ecosystems are now working together to serve professionals who demand the highest standards of data security.

Bringing High-Performance Compute to your private computer

The concept behind Olares One is simple: it is your Personal AI Cloud on your own computer. It combines the security of physical hardware with the flexibility and ease-of-use of cloud services.

With Olares One, we aim to solve the three main hurdles to local AI adoption:

• Hardware: Equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090M, Olares One delivers class-leading AI compute, allowing you to run various open-source models smoothly.
• Accessibility: In the past, deploying local models required complex setup and technical know-how. Olares OS simplifies this — no coding knowledge is required. You can download, deploy, and manage AI applications just like installing phone apps.
• Data Privacy: All data is processed locally without external servers, eliminating privacy risks at the source.

Even when you are away, you can remotely connect to this Olares One at home via your mobile phone or tablet at anytime.

Keeping Sensitive Data Local

Our partnership with Mobvoi marks the first step in expanding the Olares hardware ecosystem.

TicNote Pods will connect to Olares One to process the recorded audio data on your private AI cloud.

Through our collaboration with TicNote Pods smart earbuds, users now have choices.

• When seeking convenience, use cloud AI services to quickly obtain recording processing results.
• When seeking privacy, sync data from TicNote Pods to the Olares One at home or in the office. Utilizing the computing power of the RTX 5090M, you can transcribe and analyze sensitive meeting minutes for unlimited duration without connecting to the internet or paying extra subscription fees.

This collaboration demonstrates the unique value of Olares One—it can serve as a private computing hub for various smart devices, allowing you to enjoy portability while maintaining data sovereignty.

Smart earbuds are just the beginning. We envision a future where more hardware, such as smart cameras and speakers, joins this ecosystem.

Audio from speakers or footage from cameras won’t need to be sent to a public cloud server. Instead, it will stream directly to the Olares One on your desk for processing. This ensures instant response times. It fundamentally protects your privacy from third-party prying.

Conclusion

Built on a layered operating system, Olares One combines computing power, AI models, private data / knowledge / skills, and agentic applications, enabling a wide range of players, including hardware makers, AI model labs, and agent application developers, to participate in an open ecosystem that is similar to the Android ecosystem.

Our million-dollar crowdfunding milestone validates user demand for high performance and private local AI services. Our Kickstarter backers put trust in the Olares technical roadmap. We will continue to optimize the software experience and, with an open approach, unlock the infinite possibilities of personal AI Agents.
