About
we believe AI should answer to you — not the other way around.
Founder
Marko Vodopivec
Aven Studios · Ljubljana, Slovenia
Programmer, builder, and the one holding the structure together — from the AI engine and firmware to the hardware design and everything in between.
I started Aven Studios because the cloud model is broken: it trades your privacy for convenience, and the convenience isn't even that good. AvenBox is the answer — sovereign local AI, built on purpose-built edge hardware, shipping from Ljubljana to the world.
Co-Founder
Muhammad Elladan Abdulazeez
Security · Defense Architecture
Cybersecurity specialist and the one making sure sovereign local AI stays exactly that — sovereign. Four years deep in security infrastructure, defense systems, and applied machine learning.
We started Aven Studios together because AvenBox isn't just a privacy claim — it's an architecture, and architectures have to be defended. Every layer of the box, from the firmware to the network boundary, is built to keep your intelligence yours.

Mission
make AI personal again.
AI was supposed to be your assistant, not a surveillance pipeline. We're building hardware and software that puts the full power of modern language models in your pocket — with zero cloud dependency, zero data collection, and zero compromises.
Vision
a post-cloud world.
We envision a future where edge AI is so capable that cloud inference becomes optional. Where your device is smart enough to handle everything locally. Where privacy isn't a feature — it's the architecture.
