No. The models run on the machine itself, so there is no cloud inference to fall back to, not even for large models. A physical NET switch on the back disconnects the network entirely, and the machine keeps working with the cable unplugged. No account is needed to use it. ### What AI models can cato8 run? Atrium (64 GB) runs 30B-class models such as Qwen3 32B comfortably. Forum (128 GB) runs Llama 3.3 70B and the 120B mixture-of-experts gpt-oss-120b. Curia pools 256 GB and runs Qwen3 235B; Senate pools 512 GB and runs DeepSeek-R1 671B. Models come pre-installed on the drive. ### How much does cato8 cost? Atrium, for one person, starts at £1,500 on AMD. The business machines run on NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell at £4,199 per machine: Forum (one machine, £4,199), Curia (two, £8,398) and Senate (four, £16,796), with an AMD option that costs less. Memory, storage, wireless and cover can all be configured, Apple-style, at /buy. Prices exclude VAT and include installation by a SetupMyAI engineer. UK orders add 20% VAT; orders delivered outside the UK are zero-rated. Enterprise is a custom quote. ### Is there a subscription? No. There is no subscription, activation charge or setup fee needed to use the machine. Running it harder costs nothing beyond electricity. ### How does the preorder work? A £250 deposit reserves your place. It is fully refundable at any time before your machine ships, for any reason. Your price is fixed when you preorder, and nothing else is charged until the machine is ready to ship. We have not committed to a shipping date and will tell you directly when we have one we believe in. ### Can cato8 use NVIDIA chips? Yes. Forum, Curia and Senate run on NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell as standard: 128 GB of unified memory per machine, full CUDA, and much faster on long documents. Atrium runs on AMD Ryzen AI Max+ to keep it affordable, and can be specified with NVIDIA. RTX PRO Blackwell builds are available for Enterprise. The operating system, pre-installed models, NET switch and installation are the same on every build. ### Who installs it? A SetupMyAI engineer, included in the price. Installation is on-site across the UK and UAE and remote everywhere else. They connect it to your files and systems and train your team. ### Does stacking two machines make it twice as fast? No. Stacking pools memory, so two units can run models that neither could load alone, and two units run as separate nodes can serve twice as many people at full speed. A single answer from one model split across two machines generates at roughly the speed of one unit. ### What happens to my machine if cato8 stops trading? It keeps working. Models are on the drive, the weights are open, the operating system does not check a licence and nothing phones home. If we cancel the product or stop trading before your machine ships, deposits are refunded. ### What warranty does it have? A one year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, from delivery. It is in addition to your statutory rights, which in the UK run for up to six years under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and are not limited by the warranty.
