Private AI for solo founders, on a Mac mini

As your team grows

Three people or more

Mac mini suits testing or personal use, not as the AI server of a Namtech internal-AI package. When more people share it, or you need a larger model, Mac Studio has far more memory and bandwidth.

FAQ

Quick answers about AI on Mac mini

Which AI model can a Mac mini run?

From 24GB of memory, a Mac mini runs Qwen3.8-27B at 4-bit (about 16.1 GB). The 64GB version runs the 8-bit build (about 29.5 GB). The 16GB version only suits light models such as gpt-oss-20b.

How many people can share one Mac mini?

This package is for one or two people. Response speed and the number of simultaneous users depend on the GPU and memory bandwidth; Namtech tests on real hardware before advising. For three people or more, look at Mac Studio.

Is my data sent anywhere?

The model runs on the machine itself; prompts and documents are processed there and not sent to an outside AI service. If you rent, the machine sits at Namtech and you call the model through an API.

Can I use this model commercially?

Qwen3.8-27B is licensed under Apache 2.0, which allows commercial use.

How much does it cost?

Buy from 40,010,000₫, or rent from 6,490,000₫/month (12-month term), both including 10% VAT. Mac mini rental is temporarily out of stock.
