Not everything needs to be in the cloud. Sometimes you want to work locally—on your own machine, with your own data, without an internet connection.
AI Lab Desktop brings the full AI Lab experience to your desktop. For free.
AI Lab Desktop is the same JupyterLab + AI environment as the cloud version, but running entirely on your machine:
AI Lab Desktop works with your API keys:
Already paying for API access? Use those same keys in AI Lab Desktop. No double-billing.
Privacy: Some data can’t leave your machine. Client data, proprietary algorithms, sensitive research—AI Lab Desktop keeps it all local.
Offline work: Airplanes, coffee shops with bad WiFi, secure facilities with no internet. AI Lab Desktop works anywhere.
Cost control: Pay only for the API calls you make. No platform fees, no subscription for the desktop app itself.
Learning: Students, hobbyists, and developers learning data science get a professional environment without paying for cloud resources.
If you’ve used AI Lab in the cloud, AI Lab Desktop feels identical:
Your notebooks are compatible. Work locally, then deploy to cloud when you’re ready for collaboration and enterprise features.
AI Lab Desktop is free to download and use. The only cost is your LLM API usage—and you control that directly with your own keys.
AI Lab Desktop is part of the Calliope platform. For team collaboration, enterprise data connectivity, and governance features, see AI Lab Cloud .
