What is Own 1?
Own 1 is a personal AI computer sold by OwnX. It is a desk-sized aluminium machine that runs AI models, agents, files and memory locally under your control. The page describes it as the hardware part of a wider stack that also includes OwnXOS, an open AI-native operating system based on NixOS, Nexy, a SuperAgent that builds and runs your team of agents, and OwnXCloud, optional routed compute for heavier workloads.
In practice, the machine ships with two compatible open-weight LLMs (the page lists Qwen3.8-Max, Llama 3.3 70B and Phi-3 Medium as verified options), plus Whisper Large v3 for speech and Stable Diffusion XL for images. You configure memory (recommended 128 GB), storage (recommended 4 TB, user replaceable) and an optional PCIe x8 docking station for an external GPU. Agents can be allowed to pay for approved services under a spending policy you write, and smart contract use is off by default.
