AI that never leaves the room.

A desktop AI workstation that runs entirely on your hardware. No cloud. No telemetry. No subscription. The same class of models you use in ChatGPT — running offline, on the machine you're sitting at.

Three things stand out in section 4:
1. Indemnification is mutual — most NDAs make it one-way.
2. The 7-year survival clause is longer than market standard (3–5y).
3. Choice of law is Delaware, but venue is silent — worth clarifying

Cloud AI is fast.
Your data is the price.

Every prompt, every document, every chat with a cloud model is a copy of your work sent to someone else's server. For most teams that's a productivity tax. For lawyers, doctors, analysts and engineers — it's a liability.

A full AI workspace,
compiled to your laptop.

Chat, document analysis, and a model marketplace — all running on the silicon you already own. Nothing to provision, nothing to wire up.

CAP-01

Chat with state-of-the-art models, locally.

Qwen, Llama, Phi, Mistral, Gemma. Hot-swap between models without changing your workflow.

CAP-02

Talk to your own files — privately.

Drag in PDFs, DOCX, spreadsheets, source code. The model reads, summarizes, and cites. Indexes never leave disk.

CAP-03

A model hub tuned to your machine.

Auto-detects RAM, GPU, and Apple Silicon. Picks the best variant — Q4, Q8, MLX — so the model actually fits.

// 03 · architecture

Private isn't a setting.
It's the architecture.

We don't ask you to trust a privacy policy. The application is built so that there's no path your data could take to leave your machine — even if we wanted it to.

01

Zero outbound network calls

The inference engine has no networking code. You can audit it. You can verify it. Pull the ethernet cable and Strive works identically.

verified
02

AES-256-GCM encrypted vault

Conversations, documents and embedding indexes are encrypted at rest with per-machine keys held in your OS keychain.

at-rest
03

Compliance by absence

GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, ITAR — all built around the question "where is the data?" When the answer is "nowhere but here", most of the form is pre-filled.

by-design
04

Open-weight models, audited

We ship Qwen, Llama, Mistral, Phi, Gemma — all openly published, with weights you can hash and pin. No proprietary black box.

The personal tier isn't a demo — it's the full product. Enterprise unlocks deployment, SSO, audit logging, and a human on the other end of the phone.

Things you're probably
wondering.

If we missed yours, mail us — we read every one.

For most professional work — drafting, summarizing, document Q&A, code assistance — open-weight models in the 30-70B range are competitive with frontier cloud models. The gap is narrowing every month, and the privacy difference is permanent.
8 GB RAM runs the 7B class. 16 GB runs 14B comfortably. 32 GB runs 32B. Apple Silicon Macs are particularly efficient because of unified memory. Strive auto-detects your machine and recommends the right model so you don't have to think about it.
Enterprise. Teams that need SSO, audit logging, deployment automation, and a support contract. The Personal tier is a real product because we want individuals using us as their daily driver — that's how good word-of-mouth happens.
Yes. Run Strive with your network disabled — it works identically. Or run Wireshark/Little Snitch and watch the silence. Enterprise customers can additionally enforce egress policies at the OS level.
The model weights are open. The application is closed-source today but source-available for Enterprise customers under audit. We open-source utility crates and plugin SDKs on GitHub.
Agents and tool use are on the v1.1 roadmap. They'll run locally — the agent loop, the tool registry, even an embedded sandboxed code interpreter. Web search, when it ships, will be optional and clearly marked as the one thing that touches the network.
