Your AI. Your data.
Your hardware.

DAI Node — local-first AI computer: 0 token fees, 80 W, models up to 300B, private agents, and two modes

The DeAI Node is not just a device for local AI — it is an entry point into a new infrastructure where users simultaneously gain privacy, autonomy, access to more powerful models, and the ability to monetize idle computing resources.

Two modes. One node.

DAI is a network of autonomous AI devices where users can choose to run tasks locally and privately, or connect to the DAI Network for heavy models, deep research, content generation, or model training.

No cloud required

Run AI locally

Private, powerful, and always available on your own node.

Run powerful AI models directly on your DAI Node. Your AI stays local and private - with no API limits and no data leaving your device.

Deploy autonomous assistants that can read your files and interact with your tools while keeping every byte on your device. Your documents, source code, and business data are never uploaded to the cloud.

The compute is already yours. Run the node all day and generate as many tokens as you like — nothing per token, nothing per request, no surprise invoice at the end of the month.

Chat with your documents without uploading them to the cloud. Search, summarize and analyze your private files locally.

Install DAI-optimized models or any other supported AI models with a single click - no command line, complex setup, or manual configuration required.

Around 80 W power draw makes local AI efficient and renewable-energy friendly.

Switching modes is a physical switch on the node, fully under your control.

Value for business

A private AI assistant, local data processing, and predictable costs without expensive external APIs.

Value for cities & infrastructure

Local AI services that keep running through poor connectivity or outages.

Value for energy

Monetise surplus green energy through digital services and EV charging.

Intelligent P2P routing, no single point of failure

Requests automatically reroute through available nodes, keeping the network fast, resilient, and always connected.

We are building AI infrastructure that does not need a data centre

DAI is a decentralised AI infrastructure where computation is not performed in one central data centre, but distributed across autonomous AI devices, local nodes and energy-independent clusters.

A single node gives you private, local-first AI. Many nodes together create something a single device cannot: infrastructure for large models, served by splitting the work across the network. That is the part most local-AI products stop short of, and it is the reason DAI exists.

DAI offers an alternative to full dependence on cloud AI providers: its modularity and P2P architecture enable scaling AI capacity without building traditional data centers, while energy independence reduces bureaucratic barriers and simplifies deployment.

DAI d.o.o. is registered in Celje, Slovenia, and develops its intelligent layer on European public supercomputing infrastructure.

AI lives closer to the user, and the network's power emerges through the cooperation of many Nodes.

The node always maintains local control: what to run locally, what to allow the network to process, which models to install, which adapters to keep private.

Local infrastructure ensures full control over data, resilience against external interference, and independence from global providers.

With the support of the European Union and EuroHPC.

DAI received a EuroHPC allocation on LUMI, one of Europe’s fastest supercomputers.

This grant turned an architecture that previously existed only on paper into real MVP nodes and enabled experiments that can help bring the DAI Network to scale.

Thanks to access to supercomputing resources, the team is working on:

  • Building the Distributed Model Layer: splitting large AI models across multiple nodes and enabling recovery when one of those nodes goes offline.
  • A network simulator with thousands of virtual peer-to-peer devices: testing unstable connections, node churn, and partial network outages.
  • Federated and Split Learning experiments across heterogeneous nodes: including devices running on battery power.

This non-dilutive R&D support validates the project as an innovative AI infrastructure initiative with significant potential for further development — not simply an early-stage commercial idea.

We built our first working off-grid DAI Node — powered by its own battery and rechargeable from solar panels.

With Starlink connectivity, it can operate privately and locally or connect to the DAI Network, keeping AI available even during power outages.

The same low-power, renewable-energy setup can also help make Green Mode compute cheaper across the network.
