US deliveries begin June 2026, built in small batches. Pre-orders are filled in the order they are received.

Yes. The $50 deposit is fully refundable at any time before your unit ships.

Virtues OS is the open-source software that runs on your server — free, forever. Virtues AI is the optional $29/mo subscription that handles cloud inference under Zero Data Retention agreements. Pre-orders include 3 months of Virtues AI.

The $29 is passed straight through as a $29 flat-rate usage credit — you could theoretically consume the full amount and Virtues keeps 0% margin. We use a flat rate (rather than metered billing) so your usage stays fully anonymous: we keep no content, no payloads, and have no way to tie Virtues AI activity back to a person. The monthly model exists because Virtues OS leans on real recurring costs — entity resolution, Google Places, LLM inference, Plaid connections, and paid enterprise data sources — that are paramount to how the OS works.

The Virtues Server, power supply, and all cabling. A near-silent mini PC designed to sit on a bookshelf — well under 40W draw.

Your Server runs locally and is yours. The Virtues subscription powers the cloud-side conveniences — integrations, AI inference, web search — through a zero-PII proxy. As consumer hardware and local models catch up, more of these move on-device, and the subscription shrinks with them.

Three tiers. $0/mo — fully self-hosted, DIY: all code open source, every endpoint exposed, run your own proxies. It's hard, and almost nobody will do it, but the path exists and we keep it open on purpose. $29/mo — standard: the zero-PII proxy, integrations, OAuth brokering, web search, and pooled inference. Bringing your own AI keys lives here too — the conveniences are bundled in either way. $199/mo — power user: higher inference limits and heavier workloads, priced in line with typical power-user AI plans.
