OCTOO AI Independent AI Lab

● OCTOO AI · Independent AI lab by Sven Lehnert

Run uncensored AI on your own server, and put it to work.

For companies that want AI without someone else’s filter or logs. I install open-weight models on a dedicated GPU server in Germany, keep them running and build automations on top.

Own your AI

What you get and how we build it

Look inside the lab

Five systems at work. You’re inside one of them.

  1. 01 Sovereign AI
  2. 02 TFM
  3. 03 SOLLE AI
  4. 04 Autonomous Media
  5. 05 Autonomous Web
  6. 06 What’s next?
The OCTOO mark: one head, many arms. Each arm ends in a system of the lab. 5 systems running · one arm still open
02The question

Who controls intelligence?

More and more of your work runs through AI. Right now, a few companies decide:

  • Which models you can use.
  • Where your data goes.
  • What the model may answer.
  • What it costs.
  • Whether you still have access tomorrow.

Your AI shouldn’t need a provider’s permission.

With an open-weight model on your own server, these decisions are yours. I set it up and keep it running.

The full argument
03Private AI

You decide what your AI may answer.

We pick the model together, standard or uncensored. I train it on your data or remove its refusals, then test it with your own questions before it goes live.

  • No model provider in between
  • No filter you didn’t choose
  • No logs unless you want them

“What interests me are systems that run, decide and publish on their own. AI agents write most of the code. I set the direction and sign off on anything that can’t be undone.”

OCTOO AI is my lab. I run my own systems here and take on a few projects for others. My goal is a European home for independent AI: uncensored models in the right hands, running on servers in Germany.
