Weekly AI Favorites: Olares – The On-Premise AI Powerhouse?
Hey AI enthusiasts! In my latest roundup of no-code/low-code AI gems, I’m spotlighting this intriguing Kickstarter project: Olares One. Is it the self-hosted AI automation beast we’ve been craving for home labs and office setups? This video dives deep into a hands-on first look, testing it on an Nvidia 3060 Ti to see if it can power 2026 workflows without cloud lock-in.
Key highlights from the review:
- Wipe & Install: Unique boot process (heads up: it erases your drive!) and easy setup for core tools like Ollama (local LLMs) and n8n (workflow automation).
- Integrations Tested: Seamless n8n + Ollama hookup, plus RAGFlow for document handling, vector storage, and even meeting notes.
- The Catch? Concerns over “LarePass” and Cloudflare tunneling – is it truly on-premise, or still cloud-dependent?
