PhD-level AI with 125 billion parameters. On your 8 GB MacBook Neo or MacBook Air.
It runs right on your laptop, completely offline. No internet and no cloud, so nothing you ask ever leaves your computer.
It also runs on older Windows PCs with 8 GB of memory and no graphics card. An AI this size normally needs a very expensive computer.
Measured on a MacBook Neo with 8 GB: a two-page, PhD-level answer in under 30 minutes. See all speeds
Burritt AI Studio. The private AI that never touches the internet.
A complete AI studio on a USB drive. Plug it into a Windows PC or a Mac and ask, research, teach, write, make pictures and make music. No internet, no account, nothing to install, and nothing you type or create is ever sent anywhere. Launch price $59 for the first 100 customers, 50% off the regular $118.$118, one-time purchase.
Private AI for the people who need it most.
The AI, the library and everything you save live on one drive you own.
Burritt AI Studio
Ask, research, teach, write, make pictures and make music, all on a drive you own, with the internet off. Launch price $59 for the first 100 customers.$118.
Four things we do better than anyone else.
Cloud AI is everywhere. Offline AI is the harder problem, and the one most teams underestimate. The Burritt Center is built around four disciplines.
Offline AI
We design AI systems that run without an internet connection. On a laptop. On a USB drive. In a basement. On a plane. In a secure facility. Wherever the cloud can't reach, we make AI useful.
AI Privacy
Runs with no internet connection. No cloud transcript, no account, no tracking. Sensitive prompts, regulated data, private notes, and proprietary IP stay on hardware you own.
Local LLM Performance
Quantization, model selection, hardware fit, and inference tuning so local models actually perform. We benchmark on real consumer and workstation hardware, not on slideware.
Custom Offline AI Builds
Need your own offline AI product, internal tool, or fully offline workflow? Under the Executive Retainer, we help companies design and build it, end to end.
Cloud AI is convenient. Offline AI is sovereign.
Every cloud prompt becomes someone else's training data, tracking, transcript, or breach risk. Offline AI flips the model: the work, the data, and the audit trail stay where you put them.
Disconnected by default
The AI runs on your computer, reading from your drive. Nothing you ask is sent to a cloud service or stored on a third-party server. Works disconnected.
Sensitive work stays local
Regulated data, client notes, legal review, IP, family records, journals, and private advice never need to become cloud account history.
You own the stack
One-time purchase, no subscription, no rate limits, no per-token billing, no vendor model swaps mid-quarter. The drive is yours.
A home offline AI lab. Run by a Fortune 500 IT veteran.
Ken Rheingans has been building technology since 1976. Real-time firmware in aerospace and defense. Co-founded startups. Led software teams of 100+ engineers. Rose to VP Global Information Services at a $20B Fortune 500 company operating in 70 countries. During the COVID lockdown, he built a home AI lab and started proving that real AI workloads could run entirely offline.
50 years building tech
Real-time firmware to enterprise AI. Ken has been writing code since 1976 and never stopped building with the tools he advises on.
Fortune 500 VP experience
Led global IT for a $20B Fortune 500 company across 70 countries. Knows how enterprises actually buy, deploy, and govern AI.
Real local-LLM hardware
Dual-CPU workstation, 40 cores, 192GB RAM, dual NVIDIA GPUs. Plus an RTX 5090 daily driver. Models are proven on real hardware before they ship.
Need offline AI inside your business? We do that too.
The Burritt Center ships consumer products, and under the Executive Retainer we work directly with companies that need private offline AI on their own terms. Three engagements, one relationship, fixed monthly fee.
Adopt AI offline
For regulated, security-sensitive, or IP-protective teams that need real AI productivity without exposing prompts, files, or audit trails to a cloud vendor. We map use cases, pick local models, and stand up offline workflows your people will actually use.
Optimize local LLM performance
You already have on-prem or edge hardware. The models are slow, the answers are weak, or the GPU is sitting idle. We diagnose the bottleneck: quantization, model fit, batching, context window, hardware mismatch, and tune it to ship.
Build your own offline AI product
You have an idea for an offline AI product, internal tool, or fully offline workflow. We help you design it, prove it on real hardware, and build it end to end. Same playbook we use to ship Burritt AI Studio.
