What is Sovereign?

How your private Sovereign brain and iPhone work together.

Updated July 13, 20261 min read

Sovereign is your private AI companion. It is not a public chatbot in the cloud.

Every customer receives the same setup today: Sovereign Remote on iPhone 15 or newer, paired with a Sovereign brain — an MSI Cubi NUC AI+ 2MG appliance that runs your Sovereign on your network. You talk through Crypto Chat — a private encrypted conversation that public AIs do not offer.

iPhone running Sovereign Remote connected through a home network to a compact Sovereign brain appliance — Crypto Chat: your iPhone talks to your Sovereign brain over your home network — no cloud in the middle.

What you get

Sovereign Remote on iPhone (15 or newer) — Crypto Chat with your Sovereign, see your mission, link securely
Your Sovereign brain (MSI Cubi NUC AI+ 2MG) — where your Sovereign thinks, remembers your setup, and holds API keys for thinking services

Coming soon

NVIDIA DGX Spark as a future Sovereign brain — announced only; no customer setup until released

What makes it different

Crypto Chat — encrypted conversation on your network; public AIs have no equivalent
Runs on your network, not a shared public AI service
You choose the thinking service (which model answers) — keys stay on the brain, not on your iPhone
Adrian (in the app and on this help site) can guide you — separate from Crypto Chat with your Sovereign

Note

Device link / Crypto Chat (iPhone ↔ brain) and thinking service (which model answers) are separate ideas. See Device link vs thinking service.

When you're ready, continue with What's in the box.
