Olares One: private AI for law firms
Last updated
Olares One is an AI server listed at 4,999 USD, with 24 GB of VRAM and 96 GB of RAM. We feature it for small law firms because it runs models in the office, works offline after activation and gives each lawyer an account.

What is inside Olares One?
Olares One is a compact AI server from Olares. According to Olares' spec page, it pairs an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile GPU with 24 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, 96 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2 TB NVMe SSD, and it runs Olares OS, which is open source and built on Kubernetes.
- Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores.
- RAM is DDR5-5600 and can be upgraded to 128 GB; a second M.2 slot is free.
- Thunderbolt 5, 2.5 GbE, HDMI 2.1, USB-A and Wi-Fi 7.
- It measures 320 x 197 x 55 mm and weighs 2.15 kg, small enough for an office shelf.
- Noise, by Olares' own lab figures, is 19 dB idle and under 39 dB at full load.
Why do we feature it for small law firms?
We feature Olares One because a small firm rarely has an IT department, and this box puts the pieces of private AI in one place. The chat assistant installs from Olares Market, each person signs in with their own account through the LarePass app, and backups are automatic and encrypted.
By Olares' figures it is quiet, which matters in a shared office. After a one-time activation it can work entirely offline, so the firm can keep it on a closed office network. Backups can go to a NAS over SMB, inside the office.
How does a firm get started?
A firm should do every online task first and test on old files before live work. Activation, app installs and model downloads all need internet. Testing on documents from closed or non-sensitive matters shows whether the models are good enough before any client data is involved.
- Pick a few test tasks, such as summarizing a transcript or comparing two contract drafts.
- Run activation, which needs internet, an Olares ID and the LarePass app.
- Install Ollama and Open WebUI from Olares Market and download the models to test.
- Create one admin account and a few lawyer accounts.
- Write the firm's rules down in an AI policy before live use.
What should a firm ask Olares directly?
Some answers a firm needs are not on Olares' public pages. Ask in writing what the box sends to Olares after activation, how updates reach an offline box, whether sign-ins and admin actions are logged, and what happens to the drive if the unit goes back for repair.
Also ask about encryption at rest. Olares' FAQ says the file system does not use full-disk encryption by default, so physical security of the box matters.
Questions & answers
Where is Olares One sold?

Yes. Olares OS is open source and built on Kubernetes, and its code is on GitHub, so the firm's IT adviser can look at it.
