LOCAL AI / MAC MINI & MAC STUDIO
AI for data that never leaves your building.
Run open-weight language models on a Mac mini – or a Mac Studio for even more compute – in your office or data centre, connected to 48°. Your most sensitive documents stay on-site; your teams keep working in the same platform.
WHY IT MATTERS
Some data should never leave the premises.
EU hosting covers most work. But for some information, any external processing is one step too far – by law, by contract or by policy.
Personal and health data
Records where even an encrypted transfer needs extra approval.
Legal and board material
Privileged documents, M&A files and board papers.
HOW IT WORKS
A small box. The full platform.
Your Mac mini or Mac Studio runs the model, the storage and the search index on-site. 48° decides what runs where.
INPUT Hardware on-site → STEP Local Model, STEP Local Storage, STEP Local Index → OUTPUT Private Answers ON YOUR NETWORK
Model, storage and index stay on-site.
An open-weight language model, local document storage and a local search index run on the hardware inside your network.
INPUT Request → STEP Local Model, STEP EU Cloud Models → OUTPUT One Workspace CONNECTED TO 48°
Sensitive work stays local – the rest stays easy.
Workspaces, assistants or document collections you mark as local are answered only on your own hardware. Everything else can keep using the EU models – in the same 48° workspace.

THE HARDWARE
Two sizes. Both fit any office.
Compact, quiet and energy-efficient – on a shelf or in a server rack, without a dedicated data centre. We help you choose and size the setup.
01 / COMPACT
Mac mini
For a team or a department: everyday work with models sized for documents, chat and assistants.
02 / MORE COMPUTE
Mac Studio
For even more compute and memory: larger models, more users at once and heavier workloads.
SECURITY
Your building is the boundary.
Processing on-site
Model, storage and index run on hardware in your premises.
European platform
48° itself is European-owned and runs in the EU.
Clear rules per workspace
You decide which teams and collections are local-only.
