Introduction

July 10, 2024 (Beijing) - Master Lu held a new product launch conference, officially releasing its new composite software product, Master Lu AiNAS, which "provides local AI deployment and usage capabilities as well as online NAS functions." The new Master Lu AiNAS will continue to meet the current public's new demands for digital life, combining the convenience of "cloud storage" with the large capacity and high privacy of NAS, and adding AI functions. While addressing issues such as the high cost and difficulty of configuring traditional NAS devices, it explores a new cloud data productivity experience.

Compared to traditional NAS products, Master Lu AiNAS has the characteristics of "zero cost, low threshold," allowing users to easily set up a personal private cloud server using idle devices. It also comes with a built-in 7B local large model that can deeply understand local documents, forming a whole machine knowledge base, and knowledge sharing can be conducted on this basis. Combined with Master Lu's philosophy of "providing simplified usage design for ordinary users" over the years, it ultimately ensures that Master Lu AiNAS is easy to install and use with one-click installation and easy operability.

Instead of cloud disks, use Master Lu AiNAS.

With the advent of the digital age, "data" has become an indispensable part of our lives. Whether it's for work or daily life, in the pursuit of efficiency and borderless convenience, "cloud data" has undoubtedly become the most convenient form of data storage.

The various types of online disks, cloud storage, and cloud backup apps widely used by the public are essentially presented in the form of "cloud data." However, while users enjoy the convenience of these cloud storage services for free, their privacy and information security are placed in a relatively dangerous situation.

Firstly, the nature of "public cloud disks" will expose the uploaded materials to the public internet, and these materials will also be subject to review and inspection by the cloud disk company. Resources that do not comply with laws and regulations or are reported by others will be deleted. In addition, there is the issue of transmission speed; currently, free members of public cloud disks are basically subject to speed limits, which greatly reduces the experience.

To meet consumers' demands for a product that is as convenient as a cloud disk but also achieves high-speed local storage and security, NAS (Network Attached Storage, network storage devices) was born, becoming an ideal solution to this problem.

However, traditional NAS is not only expensive but also complicated to configure, which poses a certain technical threshold for ordinary consumers. The release of Master Lu AiNAS officially solves the two major problems of NAS being "expensive" and "difficult." It not only endows hardware with "NAS" capabilities but also has the practicality of a cloud disk, providing users with a new choice of "instead of cloud disks, use Master Lu AiNAS."

There is no need to purchase additional NAS hardware when using Master Lu AiNAS. Simply install the Master Lu AiNAS software on an idle PC nearby, and you can transform the idle computer into a private NAS terminal. At the same time, using Master Lu Ai NAS does not require the purchase of a public IP address or router settings adjustment, directly helping users save the cumbersome configuration steps, and achieving the effect of one-click client installation for deployment.Lu Master AiNAS supports multi-platform operations such as iOS, Android, and official website consoles, enabling access to the home AiNAS at any time and from any location.

Compared to public cloud storage, Lu Master AiNAS offers higher data security. It does not review or restrict user content internally, nor does it leak information externally. All data resides on the local computer set by the user, and no one can affect the security of local data unless the user grants permission.

In contrast to traditional local NAS terminals, the hardware of Lu Master AiNAS fully relies on idle personal computers. The degree of freedom for subsequent hardware upgrades is higher. There is no need to repurchase the entire NAS hardware for later upgrades, greatly reducing the cost for users when expanding NAS capacity.

In the future, Lu Master AiNAS will also release a Linux version, enabling deployment on cloud servers and separating the NAS system from the hardware, fully realizing hardware freedom.

Deploy local AI knowledge bases freely, with the highest 7B parameter volume model available for free use.

As AI and large models are gradually changing our work and life, Lu Master boldly combines NAS with AI, making AiNAS the first NAS product on the market to support users in deploying local AI large models.

After users download and install Lu Master AiNAS, they can choose to enable the "Intelligent Assistant" feature. Under this feature, after authorizing the "local knowledge base" to scan all disk files, the intelligent assistant of Lu Master AiNAS will try to understand the knowledge contained in various files on the computer, and can provide answers that better match your data when receiving questions in the future.

At the same time, Lu Master AiNAS also supports users in establishing separate independent knowledge bases, specifying the intelligent assistant to learn knowledge in related aspects, and obtaining a more targeted personalized AI assistant experience. These "personal knowledge bases" will also support encrypted sharing.

For computers with different configurations, Lu Master AiNAS has set up two local language large models: "Smooth Mode" and "Smart Mode". "Smooth Mode" focuses on fast understanding speed and is suitable for lightweight hardware, where all AI calculations will be performed by the CPU. Compared to "Smooth Mode", "Smart Mode" will have more accurate AI training conclusions, but the hardware requirements will also be higher.

It can be said that Lu Master AiNAS has significant advantages in the Personal Cloud & AI Integration track, such as no need to purchase additional hardware equipment, intelligent assistant, and local knowledge base, making it particularly suitable for individual and family users. At the same time, it has unique advantages in terms of entry threshold and data privacy.In terms of cost, Master Lu AiNAS will adopt two models: "Free Basic Edition" and "Paid Professional Edition". The "Basic Edition" package can be used for free as long as it is connected to Master Lu AiNAS through the mobile app every month within one year after activating the device.

Users of the "Professional Edition" package will also have additional features such as "custom access to websites". In terms of pricing, the final pricing for Master Lu AiNAS "Professional Edition" is: a monthly card for 25 yuan, a quarterly card for 58 yuan, and an annual card for 264 yuan.

During the launch period of the new product, in order to allow more users to experience the complete services of Master Lu AiNAS, new users who sign up for the first time from now on can enjoy a special price of 9.9 yuan for the first month and 168 yuan for the annual card of Master Lu AiNAS "Professional Edition". Everyone is welcome to download and experience on the official website of Master Lu AiNAS.
