No token limits

The models run on your machine.

Arqenne ships with local models for chat and narration. They run entirely on your computer — no credits, no per-minute fees, no arbitrary ceilings.

Chat
On-device language model answers questions about your own pages. Ask as much as you want.
∞ unlimited
Text-to-Speech
Neural voices generate narration locally. Record a whole audiobook without a meter running.
∞ unlimited
In the cloud

Cloud AI Assistant (optional, powered by OpenAI) and storyboard images rendered in Arqenne Cloud draw on your plan’s included cloud usage. Your messages are routed directly to the provider — Arqenne never stores or logs your conversations. Images rendered on your own ComfyUI server are unlimited.
