The same description at two lengths, to quote as written.
Elysium Labs is a small team in Zürich, Switzerland, building Elysium, a home AI that runs on a hub inside the home. Its AI agent, The Butler, understands plain language and controls Matter devices. The hub ships in Sovereign mode, so nothing it learns leaves the house. In early access, Elysium runs as a hosted app in Cloud mode.
Elysium Labs is a small team in Zürich, Switzerland, building Elysium, a home AI that runs on a hub inside the home. Its AI agent, The Butler, takes requests in plain language, by voice or chat, and carries them out across the home's Matter devices, such as lights and thermostats. It checks whether each light or heating command was carried out before it reports back. The hub ships in Sovereign mode: the language model, the household's memory, device control and sign-in run on the hub, so nothing it learns leaves the house, and owners can check that with its egress self-test. Owners can switch to Hybrid, where each resident can choose a cloud model, which receives the requests it answers, with their context. The product line is The Butler; The Bar, the device on the wall that you talk to; and The Smart Mirror, planned for 2027. In early access, Elysium runs as a hosted app in Cloud mode.
Each line is stated elsewhere on this site, and the links beside it show where.

Elysium, a home AI that runs on a hub in the home. Its AI agent is The Butler.

Sovereign, how the hub ships: everything runs on the hub. Hybrid, which the owner can switch on: each resident can then choose a cloud model for the reasoning. Cloud, the hosted early-access app: the household's data is stored in the hosted service, and a cloud model does the reasoning. The hosted app runs no device controller: only a hub in the home carries out commands.

Matter, the open smart-home standard: the hub is a Matter controller with its own Thread network. Today the Butler controls lights, thermostats and scenes.

Three stories the technical reports support, one per report. The reports are in English, self-published and not peer reviewed.
ELY-TR-2026-01
The hub ships in Sovereign mode, with the language model, the household's memory and device control on one machine in the home. In that mode a fault reduces what the hub can do and never moves a request to the cloud, and the owner can run a self-test that checks no service on the hub is talking to the outside world. The report also sets out what a capable local setup costs in hardware.

ELY-TR-2026-02
A household simulator driven by language models lives simulated days against a fresh build of Elysium and files a replayable ticket where the home failed a real need. An AI developer proposes fixes, independent checks and a human review gate them, and the grader sits in its own repository, which the automated developer cannot edit.

How a home can know the people in it without building a profile of them in a datacenter. In Sovereign mode the household model, standing preferences and memory stay on the hub. People join the household deliberately, a guest gets only what their pass names, and each person can review and erase what the home knows about them.
